Heritage Items in the Garden

This old shed was recently reclaimed by the branch members who take care of the main house. We are hoping to put a path on the left side through to the far back of the garden. We'll get to the gardening eventually but at the moment it's full of weeds and a big air conditioner.

Before.

I couldn't rebuild this old post and rail fence because it's too fragile. I just propped the slabs of wood where they might have been. The gate was broken and crumpled and similarly the 1850s heritage would be lost if anything much was done. I straightened it and it's held together with a piece of bamboo and some copper wire. I'm quite proud of my hidden work.
