Photos from Laura Simpson

The outdoor classroom

Jackie tells the story

The children play the parts in the story

They all get to meet Peter the Pit Pony

Everyone seemed to have fun with the story

After the story Jackie explains we can find out more on the trail round the park

Off they go - out into the park

The trail leads in a circuit from the Winding Engine House Compound

At each information post they scan the QR code ...

... and find out more about the mining equipment

Back in the Dynamo House they get crafting and make a flock of canaries

Everyone goes home with a feathery friend including Councillor Phil Rostance's daughter.

The sweet chestnut adjacent to the playground

The smaller branches have already been removed

See how close it is to the fence

Time for some serious chainsawing

The view from the top

Birds-eye view of the playground

All the tree now on the ground

Smaller timbers chopped into short lengths

Larger timbers stacked ready for sawing

The BWE mobile sawmill is set up on site

It makes short work of sawing the timber into planks

The planks and other timber will be used by BWE
