This is the work in progress and encompassed removal of the window and stripping all paintwork back to the wood.

Mr Hanky surveys the finished product, showing the Vernon Tutbury toilet and the walls wallpapered and painted.
The floor was overlaid with laminated oak, supplied by Karndean of Evesham and fitted by Bourne Carpets of Bearwood.

This project was begun in December 1997 and was completed in June 1999.
