Thus colour, materials, and fine details consciously vary. This avoids confusing the developmental history of the place.Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-59706865259577305082013-06-19T14:26:53.156+12:002013-06-19T14:26:53.156+12:00It may just just be the photos, but to my eye the ...It may just just be the photos, but to my eye the windows on the new bit look to be aluminium, and the wrong colour if you're trying to match the originals!<br /><br />I hope it will be fixed up as soon as possible...Geoff Houtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891832291612240054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-83852677201929094582013-06-19T11:37:46.102+12:002013-06-19T11:37:46.102+12:00(This comment from George Farrant, in reply to Hel...<i>(This comment from George Farrant, in reply to Hels.)</i><br /><br />Thanks Hels - your positive comments are appreciated.<br /> <br />However I need to take issue with the oft-repeated myth that productive heritage co-operation between owners, consultants, contractors, and council is a rarity.

After all the heritage buildings that should have been saved instead of being torn down, I would warmly congratulate the co-operative effort between the owner, consultants, contractors and council!!!!
