Zazas Blog - June 2016

Last month, I was promoted from tile counting and got to oversee the demolition of a local pub, The Harvest Home.
Dating back to the early 1900's, this watering hole in Greet had been part of the community for many years. However, after standing empty for a period of time, the notice for demolition was given.

Believeing that the demolitions of buildings need not be a process that generates unwanted waste, Brett Hunter of EMG demolition, carried out the works with a view to saving, reusing and recycling as much of the material as possible. Winchcombe Reclamation were able to salvage interior fixtures, timber and flooring and any crushed materials were sent to be re-used in nearby roadways rather than going to landfill.

The iconic swing sign seen outside the pub is now in the yard here and, if this little piece of local history is of any interest, they are open to offers with monies going to my chosen charity - Marwell Zoos Zany Zebra Appeal.
