Masonry Cleaning by Kimbolton Restoration on behalf of Main Contractors E Bowman & Sons.
The following is an extract from The RICS Awards October 2006.
The Winners…
Building Conservation – Commended Radcliffe College Oxford
"This is an outstanding piece of conservation. It has put the building back in the public domain, and is now an instantly recognizable feature of the Oxford skyline, known to all”.
Debbie Dance, Judge
"Radcliffe Observatory is an 18th Century Grade 1 listed building, located at the centre of Green College in Oxford. An icon of the neo-classical movement, the observatory contains a rare collection of sculptures by John Bacon and J F Rossi, which were in need of urgent conservation".
"The tower of the observatory is surrounded by bas-reliefs by Bacon depicting the Winds. These were particularly fragile and required specialist cleaning using scalpels and localised poulticing. Hand-washing, micro air abrasive and chemical poultices were used to restore Rossi’s Coade Stone sculptures to their former glory".
