PROJECT 5
Guiseley, Leeds
21.08.18 & 22.08.18
DSWA Placement with Axis Walling
Guiseley was my introduction to lime mortared walling. Here was a 1.7 square metre section of wall build from traditional Yorkshire Gritstone. It needed to be stripped to different levels on either side of the wall.
Thus, while using the breakers was really physical, some sections required a more measured hammer.
Ample working space made it a enjoyable working on this lime mortared project in Guiseley.
