Very proud to have been asked to design Telephone Kiosk WW1 Memorial Exhibition for Dartmoor Forest Parish Council, Princetown in time for centenary commemorations. Good to see these redundant iconic structures being given a fantastic new lease of life

It's so special when people write to us to share their sentimental treasures relating to The Depot. A big thank you to Freda Bennett for sharing this pretty trinket box, which has been in her husband's family since his grandfather was stationed at The Depot during the war.

The former Mound was reseeded today. We are keeping the fence up until the grass has established and then we can finally open up the space again.
