The daily grind

The Funeral Directors at Wirksworth is nearing completion now. With 2 weeks to go until the grand opening, the sliding timber gate to enclose the courtyard is being fitted and decoration is well underway inside. The brickwork is settling in with its surroundings and looking great in the Autumn sunshine.
