Worked here in the early 80s when the building was being refurbished.I put the lead on the roof. My initals and date will be on the capping pieces..I recall it was bitter cold weather, coldest few weeks of my life

Lovely video. I am an an exiled Sanddancer, but I remember the Adelfotis incident and rescue as a small boy. The weather was indeed foul all day. Thank you for what you do for the town.
