@engineers_feed Jaguar introduced disc brakes versus the rest using drum brakes. Won Le Mans due to better braking.

Unfortunately, there has been no change in the situation regarding our insurance. Until this has been sorted out, there will be no further work parties.

We sincerely hope this will be a temporary situation as we do not wish the last seven years of work to suffer as a result.

BRITAIN IS COVERED IN LITTER.
We need an Automatic Number Plate Recognition system at all drive-thru restaurants in Britain.
Has the government got the guts to take on McDonald’s and KFC????

This photo, c.1900, features women brickyard workers from Ebbw Vale. We don’t know where these women worked, possibly Brynhelig Brickyard near Brynheulog Street; Gantra Brickyard near Harcourt Street; or Furnace Brickworks near Newtown.

This is essential to keep our roads clean.

[Clean Up Britain @cleanupbritain]

We’re lobbying for Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology (ANPR) to be made mandatory, and printed on all drive-thru packaging. If your packaging is littered it’ll be cross-checked with DVLA records and you’ll be fined. We’re lovin’ it! 😂

Due to administrative issues beyond our control resulting in no insurance, the Friends will be taking a break from working on the Ironworks site during March. We hope to be back in April, keep watching this space!

Slate quarry blast shelter Lôn Garet. For hiding in when blasting stone. These round structures have meter thick walls with enough room for about eight men, this one is partially buried by a recent rockfall. If you zoom into the second picture you can see two others.

We managed to till and sow some wild flower seeds on a bank amongst other jobs such as litter picking.
Our sower went to sow, and we hope the seeds all fell on good ground!
