August 2011 Top dam -- taking the papyrus out and draining the lane

AUGUST 2011

 Top Dam  
 The island of papyrus was blocking the outlet at the spillway


John Barrow of Barrow Constructions  generously loaned us a TLB for the day.


Moses, the driver, dragged the island slowly to the edge


 A huge heap of papyrus being pushed up the bank


The last little bit!!


The spillway is clear again


The papyrus on the bank where it will dry


Our lovely dam!!

    Well done and thank you for looking after our beautiful gem in the city! Mary
