Tonight we were back at Brunel's old water tower, or what's left of it at least... There are grand plans to make it a part of the Crystal Palace museum story, but first it needs emptying out, which is where we come in! We've been removing weeds, soil, rubble and rubbish and are making steady progress.

First up, we met at the Bridge House (shout out to Jess for joining for the first time 🙌) and had a super windy route up through the park, trying to not get hit by the bike race...

At the tower, our tools were nicely prepped by David and we got straight to work, this time focusing on the entrance which had become overgrown. Clare, James and Fi were also building a fab structure of bricks (rather than a pile...) in order to access some of the plant roots.

By the end, team entrance and team brick had made a really big difference, in such a short space of time!

Nicely done everyone - a well deserved beverage at the pub 🥂

Cheers for the before & after shots Catherine!
