TIMEBALL TOWER MARCH 2021 UPDATE
Written on Thursday, 18 March 2021 12:48 in News Read 457 times
The severely corroded Timeball mast was removed on 16 December 2020. Due to the Covid lockdown, no progress has been made in evaluating the necessary repair action. The most likely option is to manufacture a replacement mast.
It is planned to scaffold the Timeball building in the spring for repairs to the 200 year old structure. This will also include a complete external repaint. It is hoped the building works should be completed along with the mast replacement by early summer. Accordingly, we hope to re-open in early summer on completion of these works.

The mast replacement will be a significant cost which we will share with DDC. As yet we do not know how much it will cost but we believe it will be considerably in excess of £10,000.
