"Recently we spoke with Michael from Sydenham who was excited to have just started labouring on the Subway site - he was helping to reclaim bricks for re-use. Until the morning he started, like many others, he had no idea the Subway existed despite living in the area for most of his life! #bestkeptsecret #hiddenlondon
Where @DBRlimited have to dismantle walls for the Subway restoration as many as possible of the original bricks are reclaimed for rebuilding. New bricks are being custom made to match the originals.
Different mortar mixes are also being tried to ensure as close a match to the original as possible."
