Started to clear and rake one very neglected wall today. Most of the coping stones completely loose and some replaced with huge lumps of concrete or granite ( I think). Those will be quickly taken to the tip tomorrow and the rest set aside until it's warm enough to use lime mortar. Also a forsythia growing right through it and similar further down means some parts will need rebuilding. Started to get a better idea of how it could look once repointed. Not perfect due to the ad-hock repairs in its history, but hopefully much better than it was.
If the budget allowed I'd like to use the stone from the other side to build it up to 6ft and then replace that run with a new fence. Emailing photos to a very talented local stone-waller but it'll likely be a beyond our means.
