The Beginning
The old shed at School Road Geeveston is nearly a hundred years old. It was orginally a bus depot, then spent 30+ years as a heavy machinery engineers workshop. As a result, it had a very oily interior, a rusty roof with holes, no eaves or guttering, and, as a result, the birds used to make it their own private nesting site in spring.
Important Features
Although the walls are made of heavy blockwork, the whole shed is held up by a solid steel skeleton. The trusses are 5mm steel, supported on 90 mm steel posts. It also incorporates a 2 tonne movable overhead hoist.
