The Stag and Huntsman Digs Deep

There's no sign of a let up in the digging around the back of The Stag and Huntsman. Check out the hole as it stands this weekend. Has to be +20ft in depth.  All we can say is that it's a good job the water table is so low otherwise the contractors would have a major pumping job on their hands

Also of interest is the façade of the old drinks store / laundry alongside the lane. Does this mean the new Stag and Huntsman will look as it did before - at least from the front? This begs the question of what else the National Trust and the planners have requested are preserved. Just a shame the atmosphere cannot be placed under a preservation order.
