New Fantini arrives at Park Lane Mine
We are very happy to announce the arrival of our new Fantini GU50 Plus. This is a collaboration of design changes between Fantini and Park Lane. The blade is a 2200mm long compared with the normal 1800mm and there are several extensions on the main frame to allow both deeper cutting and to cut higher up thus maximising the block recovery in the headings. The longer blade also allows for larger blocks. The machine is being put to work in the north of the mine opening up new headings and more than doubling the current production of both Basebed and Topbed.

Park Lane Chosen to restore St James Church Bermondsey,
Chichester Stoneworks was commissioned to undertake masonry repairs to the church tower and portico. Within the tower structure, iron cramps had corroded, causing the surrounding stonework to split and crack.
A significant element of this project was the replacement of stone lintels one at a time at bell level.
