A quick look at the range of different walling styles that are on show at the Stone Centre in Cromford. Over 10 different styles from the North Lothian regions to Cornwall.
Very interesting presentation. Having tried a small bit of walling I can appreciate the effort involved in some of the more irregular and, particularly, rounded shapes.
Worked on the South Yorkshire wall. It wasn't really the best we'd ever done but you have to work with what you've got. We usually refer to the sheep creep as a "lunky"
The Lothian Scottish wall looked awful from the top third probably because the hot toddy’s would have kicked in by then and the waller would be well drunk.
Really interesting. Thanks for explaining so well. Looking forward to seeing it some day.
That’s really fascinating.
Excellent video thank-you!
Thanks Mark, at the NEC tomorrow building a living drystone wall, hopefully get some coverage.

Hi Joe, the circular boulders are very tricky, people use a small plank to role them in place sometimes, cheers Mike
