DSWA Office

Earlier this week I visited the Dry Stone Walling Association office, at Crooklands in Cumbria. I was in two minds as to whether to blog this or not, as it doesn't really come under this blog's usual subject (that being the branch's activities). However, it also doesn't really come under News, and there isn't anywhere else on the site to put it, so this is where it's going.

The office is in the refurbished Lane Farm, which also houses the Westmorland County Show offices.

Which is all very nice, but doesn't really have much to do with dry stone work (I hear you say). However, in the county showground beside the office there is this.

Twelve "panels" of wall, each made with stone from and in the style of various regions of Britain, from the uniformly coursed sandstone of South Wales, through the various limestones, sandstones, slates and granites of England and Scotland to the randomly arranged quartzite of the Highlands.
