The Monument surrounded by fencing
One of the timber bollards being carefully removed to make way for scaffolding access around the base of the column
Erecting site hoarding for the site perimeter
DPM (damp proof membrane) is being used as protection under the hoarding and also for trackway road protection
The blue barrels are filled with water to be used as Kentledge (ballast) against wind resistance for the hoarding
Site Manager, Gary Collings in what was the underground laboratory, shows evidence of soft Reigate Stone in the walls, and also Tudor brickwork, York Stone and Portland Stone.
You can learn more about the underground laboratory and the use of the Monument as a scientific instrument later this year.
