| 1990/3 | SBC Minutes / 1 March 1990 | Site for Sole Street (detail) / The type of roof covering for this building was discussed. AGREED that cleft oak shingles would be appropriate for the hall and tiles for the cross wing. It was understood that there were several suppliers now producing these, although the size of a 17th century oak shingle was not known, neither the method of fixing. It was suggested that they should be nailed on to close or half boarding. Tiles for the cross wing would be plain peg tiles which Richard Harris would research further. A number of companies were producing handmade tiles. Richard Harris would consider further the finish of the underside of the roof. Roger Champion had examined the timbers and was confident that nearly all could be repaired. Mr Warren wished to record his apologies for causing the incident at the start of the meeting. The Committee then discussed the position of the Sole Street building on site. Richard Harris felt that the suggested siting allowed for the building to be re-used as a t \\ |

| 1990/3 | SBC Minutes / 1 March 1990 | Site for Godalming (Holloway Cottages) (resumed) / (Richard Harris and Mr Armstrong having returned without the Director who felt there was nothing he could contribute in the present circumstances) To move the building closer to the Market Square would dissociate the cottages from the Toll Cottage. Because of the nature of the slope, the building could not be sunk. Richard Harris showed to the Committee the stone by stone, numbered elevation which he had produced for this meeting. This illustrated the high level of accuracy which he hoped to achieve in this reconstruction. Discussion on the 1950s window continued, and it was AGREED that an alternative style of window could be inserted here and the necessary explanation provided. From a practical point of view the office would require a window in this elevation. Mr Warren suggested incising "1990" into a brick in this window, but Richard Harris confirmed that neither he nor the Museum Director favoured this form of interpretation as a matter of policy \\ |
