Roofs are going on! 🏠

The skies might be turning a touch, but we've had another great week of progress on site in Romsey, and a huge credit to the team delivering it day in, day out.

Paul (Site Manager), Jack (Assistant Site Manager) and Chris (Forklift Operator) are doing a sterling job keeping works moving smoothly while maintaining an exceptionally clean and organised site.

It’s easy to showcase finished developments, but the hard work, standards and teamwork behind the scenes are what really make projects successful.

Proud of the effort and attitude being shown across the whole team.

A lovely moment from our Weyhill Fair open day ❤️

This short clip shows artist David Featherby talking about painting the pub’s famous mural back in the early 1980s.

It was fantastic to have David there in person sharing stories and memories with everyone who came along. The turnout and support from the community really exceeded all expectations.

Thank you again to everyone who attended — and also to the Andover Advertiser for featuring the event 📰

We know the building means a great deal to many people, and we’re very grateful we had the opportunity to open it up one final time before redevelopment begins.

What a fantastic turnout for our Weyhill Fair open day on Friday 24th April ❤️

We welcomed around 100 people through the doors in just two hours to see the mural inside the old pub one last time — and it turned into something really special.

It was amazing to see so many familiar faces, hear people’s memories of the pub, and watch old friends reconnect after years. For some, it was quite an emotional visit.

A real highlight was having the artist, David Featherby, there in person sharing stories about painting the mural back in the 1980s, along with local historian Tony R***r and Jan & Peter Rayner who once owned the Pub, and commissioned the mural.

We also managed to give out some original postcards of the mural (and even got a few signed on the day!).

We know it’s sad to see the building go, but unfortunately it’s no longer safe or possible to restore. We’re really glad we could open it up one last time for the community to enjoy and remember it.

A big thank you to everyone who came along — and to the Parish Council for helping spread the word.

We’ll share more updates soon as plans move forward for the new homes on the site.

If you came along, we’d love to hear your memories or see your photos in the comments 👇

A Happy New Year to all!

We’ve started 2026 exactly where we like to be – out on site. Last week took us to Hampshire for a snowy site visit to explore the potential for a truly special project: a large, bespoke single dwelling set on a stunning lakeside plot. Even under winter conditions, the scale and quality of the o...
