The New Roof - almost finished

Well the new roof is almost completed which will make the Volunteer Lifeboat Shed watertight for the first time in 40 years.

This is definitely a milestone in the long term preservation of this building.

Once details regarding the structure of the River End of the roof are ratified by the local planning department the roof will be completed.
