Early
May saw the start of one of the largest tasks in the Park when local
contractors, May Gurney, started work on laying the main track.
This
track follows the line of the original path from South Lodge as far as
Catton
Hall at the north of the Park
and turns east to the
Church Street entrance which will be opened in due course.
Whilst
scraping off the surface of the Park to prepare the path, and knowing
that
this was the line of the original path, much of the original track
foundation was unearthed. This original foundation comprised of old
bricks
and gravel. This is being left in situ and will be covered with a new
surface
comprising of
recycled road planings and finished with fibredeck.
The
original path was probably covered over time with general farming
and
agricultural activity.
