WORK will start on building the Springfield Campus a new sculpture encompassing Corsham's history after two hefty stone quarry trolleys were delivered to members of the Brunel shed.

Workers from Magic Grab Hire picked up the two one and a half tonne trolleys from Hanson's quarry on Friday after Brunel Shed members appealed for help last month.

"After living in Corsham for 11 years and hearing of their plight, I realised I was the man for the job," Ian Cundick of Magic Waste Solutions said. "We were quite interested in seeing the trolleys and I was quite surprised by how strong they were originally made and if they had not been left outside they would have been in quite good condition.

"My children go to school in the area and for them to walk past every day and for us to go and use the facilities at the centre and know we had a part in that is fantastic."

The two trolleys, which have started to rot, took nearly three hours in total to deliver to the men's shed in Pockeridge Road using the company's grab truck and member Humphry Barnikel said the Shed members are so grateful for their help.

"It was all trouble free and they had no problem picking them up from the quarry either," he said. "They are quite fragile and although they are hugely heavy, the wooden parts are quite rotted but they managed to lift them okay. Now they are upside down next to the shed and ready to work on!

"They contacted us out of the blue and said they would like to help and we were so pleased. They quarry also said they can give us a block of stone to sit on top too which Magic Grab Hire said they would pick up and deliver too."

The retired engineers among the shed members are excited to start building the monument, which will feature a singular restored trolley carrying a large slab of stone, that will sit pride of place outside of the Springfield Campus.

Mr Barnikel added: "Some of the guys with an engineering background are pretty enthusiastic about it but we will need to find somewhere with some pretty hunky oak.

"It is going to be quite a sight I think and it is nice because it is part of the history of Corsham."
