Great Wall of Hutton
This is what I suspect our new wall in Kirk Lane will look like. An unhappy compromise between old and new has been erected at the front of the new hall. Why on earth it was decided not to build the new wall from the stone used in the old one I have no idea. Many expert wall builders around here (including a former member of the community council) and the materials would be entirely free. But I suppose it is better than no wall at all.

Good Morning, Sir. I was recently reading your blog, and I thought...
Quite frankly the "compromise" wall with its eclectic mix of old and new looks RIDICULOUS. I disagree with you - I think no wall would be better.
Surely someone with a bit of innovation could have launched a comp for budding dry staners to fix the problem.
I think you should get on to Griff - let's start a new series Restoration WALL - That one Antoninus Pius might well win the Scottish section but surely yhe publicity for the Hutton effort will pay dividends???"
Thankyou. Hutton Think Tank are pursuing

Surely they're going to cover the breeze blocks with render though.
Seems odd to pull down a serviceable stone wall and replace it with breeze blocks topped with some of the stone - unless there's an ulterior motive like someone is about to receive a new rock garden.
