A major focus of restoration activity on the Lichfield Canal has been the section at Fosseway Heaths between Falkland Road and a disused railway crossing. In March 2018 the earthen channel is clearly discernible in readiness for further construction work.
History
Restoration House was originally two medieval buildings (1454 and 1502–22) with a space between.
They were joined together in 1640-1660 (tree ring data from roof) by inserting a third building between the two, to create a larger house.
The first owner of the completed house was Henry Clerke, a lawyer and Rochester MP. Clerke caused further works in 1670, the refacing of the entrance facade, the Great Staircase and other internal works.
The house was then bought by William Bockenham. It was owned by Stephen T. Aveling in the late 19th century, and he wrote a history of the house which was published in Vol. 15 of "Archaeologia Cantiana".
The house was purchased for £270,000[7] by the English entertainer Rod Hull, in 1986, to save it from being turned into a car park; and he then spent another £500,000 restoring it.
It was taken by the Receiver in 1994 to cover an unpaid tax bill.
The current owners over the past decade have uncovered decoration schemes from the mid 17th century, which reveal the fashionable taste of the period, much influenced by the fashions on the continent.
Charles Dickens
According to the biographer John Forster, the novelist Charles Dickens, who lived nearby, used Restoration House as a model for Miss Havisham's Satis House in Great Expectations; the name "Satis House" belongs to the house where Rochester MP, Sir Richard Watts, entertained Queen Elizabeth I - it is now the administrative office of King's School, Rochester.

In the yard area of Berjou is this old tank engine frame that seems to be missing the rest of the engine. I assume its a planned restoration job, but I'm not sure why it would be here and not at Pont Erambourg where all the facilities are
The phrase "God is in the details" has been attributed to a range of sources: architect Mies van der Rohe, art historian Aby Warburg, author Gustave Flaubert or, according to Bartlett, an anonymous source.
Despite the debate about the source of the quotation it's a philosophy we followed during the meticulous restoration of Hacienda Petac. Old beams, stone, wood, and iron were collected, restored, and carefully integrated to recreate the Hacienda's original feel. Each room was detailed with understated elegance in mind; achieved through the inclusion of decorated tile, original paint colors, and colonial antiques.
Every April 100 ONDA members gather to work on a restoration project, dance, drink beer and get caught up on "all things ONDA". This year our restoration project involved installing 15 beaver dam analogues in Pine Creek and using juniper trunks to protect plantings from browse.
