Middleton Mount 23.03.26.
Some of the wood on the steps had become rotten so that the steps could be unsafe to use. The boards were replaced by treated planks, then these held in place by supports hammered into the ground. The step riser hadhardcore added to level it up. Bramble that was growing on the outer side of the moat was cut to ground level, raked up and disposed of in a pit. Grassland near the hedge was brush cut to remove suckers of Blackthorn. A number of small branches blown off old trees were also cleared away.
