Site for Shed
Description
A wooden wheelbarrow standing on levelled ground, potting shed to the left, kitchen garden beyond, slide numbered 75.
When describing this slide in her talk "Story of York Gate 1970" Sybil says "In the Spring of 1969 Robin drew out plans for rehousing the compost. This had always been at the bottom of the garden in three functional but not very decorative bays. This necessitated wheeling the compost up quite a steep slope to the herbaceous borders and kitchen garden. So Robin drew a design to have it in the middle of the garden, incorporating a paved area and shed to
house the barrows, hose, canes etc. Call this simply The Shed. Here is the site with just the stakes driven in to get the levels. Note the window in the potting shed at the left, because this is altered."
