Pointing and repointing in Nelson
Nelson, Brierfield and Barrowford are weaving towns and the terraces are stone — long straight rows of gritstone with lime joints, built fast in the 1880s and 1890s and pointed hard in cement since. Barrowford and the Whitefield area of Nelson are conservation areas, which means the original joint profile is expected to be kept. Lime repointing by hand is the job.
The Pendle side is exposed and the north-facing elevations and chimneys carry the damage. We are often in the valley doing Colne and Burnley too, so Nelson jobs are easy to group. About forty minutes from Rochdale over Todmorden.
