Alford Manor steel frame works begin

The steel frame has arrived on site for the new function room.

The frame will see works come above ground and be more noticeable by the general public. So far, the work programme has seen drainage, electrical and foundations for the building created.

Steelworks involve designing, making, and putting together steel parts—like columns and beams—to form the strong frame of a building. These parts are connected on-site using bolts or welding.

Once the framework has been erected, the team will be able to begin laying bricks, completing the roofing and it will be a visual transformation to the space.

During the construction of the new function room, the Manor House remains open for visitors, there is reduced carparking at the site, but other parking is available close by for visitors to use.
