TEL East Mines Update 16 November 2016

All the main work is now completed and the portakabins and plant have been removed from the area as of today. All that remains is to restore the approaches to the work site by the kilns and top dress the new pathway. The next phase will be to clear the culverts at Reeking Gill to prevent further erosion there.tel-east-mines-update-9-1-16-nov-16 tel-east-mines-update-9-2-16-nov-16 tel-east-mines-update-9-3-16-nov-16
