Nice Photos Mick. I know this about Broadway, but have people seen the amount of Rose Bay Willow Herb growing on the top of the Market Hall and quite a few other buildings around the area. This can only be causing further damage to the stone work.

Did you see the smiling picture of PB in the Lancs Eve Tel? It's clearly ALL his idea....lol

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

What is? The Rose Bay Willow Herb?

(sorry... heehee)

 

[Doug]

It’s vigorous and will grow anywhere the seeds settle. The seeds are the nice fluffy things you see floating around on the breeze. It loves Railways and disturbed sites. You will remember it has the bloody stuff that boarders the allotments in summer and get everywhere. Long straight green stems with a perfusion of nice pick flowers and s*** loads of fluffy seeds.

I think I should have quoted Gayle's post in my post.

[WillowTheWhisp]

It didn't look like they'd got very far when I was down there yesterday.

 

[Steph]

Well i just got back from town and i can't say i saw any workers

 

[Steph]

Sorry but do we yet know what they are trying to do, if anything?

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

"Various materials" flowers and benches just about sums it up. Don't ask me what "various materilas" means because I haven't a clue. That was HBC-speak.

 

[entwisi]

Dog dirt, Crisp packets, these are all various materials.

I've seen more working in a Beechams Pill.......they are as slow as a Gods Horse.
Went down this am.......two fellas leaning on shovels having a fag......that's a job and a half.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

What's a "God's horse"? That's an expression I've never heard before.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

Willow.......i don't know.......it is something my Grandma used to say if I was being very slow with something.......I never ever thought to ask her at the time........maybe somone on here will know.

Oh and the work being done is supposed to have a winding pathway of 'speckled'stones.

would that be yellow brick leading to PB's office

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Apparently there are also "four or more poplar type trees" involved in it somewhere.

Four or more? Would that be five or twenty seven or three humdred and sixty one?
