The Epping has returned.

Today we had a trip to Bristol to collect The Epping stove from the restorers. We are very pleased with the results.

You can see how the stove looked when I removed it by clicking here.







New top plate and fire bricks.





New oven door 

New smokebox and damper
 

Below is the next restoration Olly is undertaking, Olly is a real stove nerd and has been searching for one of these units for years. It is the same model as was used in Shackleton's Antarctic hut.
