Salvo calls for trade to lobby MPs
SALVO is calling for the architectural salvage trade to lobby their MPs by 30 October 09 about a proposed new undemocratic law/rule. The government is planning to produce a new version of PPG15, now called PPS15 (Planning Policy Statement 15) which is out for consultation until 30 October 2009. It can be seen here
PPS15 Consultation
Thornton Kay has drafted some comments for which he is now seeking trade support. He would like every salvage dealer to write to the government and to put these points to their local MP so that they can have a voice in the decision. An important issue is that PPS15 is not a law debated in parliament.
The two main points are as follows:
Reusable materials arising from demolition and refurbishment need to be saved from demolition and refurbishment sites.
Confusion of listed building and planning officers about reuse is increasing global warming.

Triple estimate weathervane at Summers Place
Above: An unusual cast bronze sheet copper and cast iron weathervane, circa 1860. The bronze crowned lion and crowned cast iron bust of a man surmounting this piece would suggest that it was originally situated by a building with some form of Royal connection such as the palace of Westminster or perhaps an Oxford or Cambridge college. Estimated Price: £3000-5000, Hammer Price: £14500.00.
More to follow next week.

Two houses 10 minutes
FOLLOWING the decision in 2006 to demolish Dudley's North Priory estate due to its deterioration the final two houses have been demolished in just 10 minutes.
Andy Cook, from Humphries Demolition Ltd said, "The remains of the last two properties will be painstakingly sorted by hand – allowing reclaimed bricks to be added to the 500,000 which are already being shipped to other building projects."

KRIS DE DECKER writes about the development of the technology of continuous brick firing in the late 1800s, in the latest online article in Low Tech Magazine which features things like 'Cargo ships, then and now' and '12 small wind turbines put to the test' or 'How to make everything yourself: online low tech resources'.

Trader Gray passed away
TERRY GRAY, known familiarly as Trader Gray, ran the Shiver Me Timbers salvage yard in Penzance, Cornwall UK. His ramshackle yard in Long Rock, where he lived and worked, featured a large mock pirate's galleon built from reclaimed wood. A YouTube video shows him heating bricks by a woodburning stove which he placed in his bed and night to keep warm.
