Eight of the Group worked today. Five members met at the top of Beauchief Drive to continue the work on the radio mast started last week. This was achieved by 11.15 am and the site tidied up for an early finish.
The other three spent an “archeological” morning on Beauchief Hall’s Fir Walk Promenade Steps. Clearing the debris revealed the structure (though we’d like to see a photo of what they once looked like, if anyone has one!) and how we’d best go about a restoration project. The steps at the corner of Beauchief Hall deer park within High Wood (therefore the Council’s responsibility) are situated at the end of the Fir Walk – a promenade from the Hall, in days of yore, to what used to be a breathtaking view over the “Beauchief” (=beautiful headland) with the Abbey at its centre. (We don’t know what happened to the firs!)
