The observant will notice aluminium tape applied to the glazing bars on sun room roofs. This was a “temporary” solution to prevent water seepage which, despite being unsightly, was successful. In 2002, Peter Castor, who had recently moved to number 25 with his wife Anne, tried to cure the continuing problem of silt entering the lake by constructing a dam in the feeder stream using redundant coping stones. Regrettably this idea failed because water-flow became too restricted. The remains were still t<strong>here</strong> in 2012.
