Shires repair damaged coastal path in Cornwall
Robert Eddy provided a pair of his Shires to help the National Trust replace a heavy granite clapper bridge on a section of the South West Coast Path at Zennor earlier this year. Using a timber arch and a sled, the Shires dragged the bridge’s three pillars down to the almost inaccessible River Cove, where the two large capstones were replaced with the help of farmer William Alford and his vintage Field Marshall tractor. They were taking part in a £200,000 repair job to the path after last year’s freak floods.
