A dry day meant it was back to Treasure Hunt Junk at the Bone Yard at the Rocks By Rail Museum! At the moment Sammy Strimmer has been left in the cosiness of his shed as I have been dealing with the various saplings that have grown over the years. I am not sure of what sort of saplings they are but they have sharp spikes to them which seem to be able to penetrate any protective wear!
Any way the day started with this mess...
...and ended with this lesser mess!
The back of the cafe is now much more visible and hopefully opening up the area behind it will help maintain the building by getting some sunlight and air around the back of it. You can also get views like this which has not been seen for years!
I had some very welcomed assistance with Alex, Gary, Martyn, Richard and Steve doing the burning. I think they were quite keen on this as it was a cold day and the fire offered some warmth!
That large heap was continually topped up over the day but eventually it had all burned down.
Was there any junk? Well I did uncover this rather strange looking thing.
I am informed that it is a Casting Table. It would have been used when casts for objects were being made before molten metal was poured into the cast. Well, everyday is a school day!
I also discovered that there was another set of tracks behind the first set I found a few weeks ago!
Not sure if they will ever be used again but at least we have a pair!
Not sure what I will discover next time I am clearing the Bone Yard but it is always a surprise!
