We have just added handmade bricks to our Nostalgia Building Supplies shop.

Blending by hand and selective positioning in the firing kiln all helps to create a beautiful brick reflecting centuries of craftmanship.

They are available in both metric and imperial sizes and various colours.

Grimshaws are just about to start working on repairs in Montpellier Walk, Cheltenham.

The properties in this unique shopping area are separated by 32 caryatids (figures based on the classical models on the Erechtheion in Athens).

Two date from 1840, made by the original London sculptor Rossi and the remainder were created by a local man from Tivoli Street.

I hasten to add we are not touching the caryatids, just the paving and road surface!

Russell Grimshaw and Pat Baillie-Lane (our Sports & Maintenance Manager) popped over to Kings Stanley yesterday for the hand over of a cheque and plaque for the Gloucestershire Playing Fields Association competition.

King Stanley won first prize and North Nibley the runner up.

I had a very pleasant telephone call from Chris Meakin at Worley Parsons reference the works completed at Tewkesbury.

He said that they were “highly impressed with the professionalism of Grimshaws and the way in which our guys got on with the job in hand. They certainly had not expected, or previously experienced, such a professional approach by any surfacing contractor….it was also clear that we understand and can meet National Grid/Transco stringent safety standards”.

Chris said that he had visited the Tewkesbury site today and was impressed with the standard of workmanship and particularly so the macadam surface around the parking bollards, hence the telephone call.

Great news, Kings Stanley have just been awarded Best Playing Field of the Year, with the runner up North Nibley.

Meanwhile Chipping Campden won Best Playground of the Year and the runner up was Bredon.

As the official sponsor, Grimshaw see it as an opportunity to put something back into the local sports community we have been working with since 1947.

Unfortunately the youngest member of the testing team did reach overload again this year, ‘please mummy, I don’t want to go to another playground’!
