After an enormous hole had been dug with Whitelock's 13 tonne digger, the 1000 gallon rainwater harvesting tank was gently lowered in under the careful supervision of builders Gav, Scott and Bob. Yes, Bob the Builder.
Meanwhile Settle Fencing - Les Brewer and dog Bobby - plant one of a huge number of fence posts.
Day four of the gas supply operation has Carillion filling in the trenches after the supply has been connected. Access to Settle station was tight but the lads worked quickly to minimise disruption.
These are the first of five wooden gates that will give access to the grounds. This pair of field gates will open onto a new access gateway onto the station drive. They have been beautifully made to Midland Railway designs by local gate maker Jeff Wilson. They have been much admired, and photographed today. The dowelled joints are held together with oak pegs. Note the six bars, rather than the more usual five.
