Carlisle Cathedral JLP01_08_075746
CARLISLE CATHEDRAL, CARLISLE, CUMBRIA. Foreman stonemason, Ted Drinkwater, working at Carlisle Cathedral checking a stone head on the north face of the cathedral. Half its face had been replaced using SBD Certite as the adhesive.
This photograph is part of a batch taken by Laing to show restoration work being carried out using SBD Certite. In 1961, N M Phillips, the architect for Carlisle Cathedral started experimenting with the bonding material SBD Certite in the restoration of the cathedral. It was used on all but one of the decorated Gothic windows of the South Clerestory and by the time this photograph was taken, it was being used in the restoration of the north face of the cathedral. By using SBD Certite, Laing stonemasons were able to remove just the weathered surface of the stonework. New stone only two inches deep could be bonded to the old stone saving more of the original fabric of the building and cutting costs by a third. The photograph was published in April 1967 in Laings monthly newsletter Team Spirit.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the meticulous restoration work taking place at Carlisle Cathedral in Cumbria. The skilled foreman stonemason, Ted Drinkwater, can be seen carefully examining a stone head on the north face of the cathedral. What makes this particular restoration project unique is the use of SBD Certite as an adhesive. In 1961, architect N M Phillips embarked on an experimental journey to restore Carlisle Cathedral using SBD Certite. This bonding material proved to be revolutionary as it allowed for a more conservative approach to restoration. By utilizing SBD Certite, Laing stonemasons were able to remove only the weathered surface of the stonework and bond new stone just two inches deep onto the old stone. The benefits of this technique were twofold: it preserved more of the original fabric of the building while also significantly reducing costs by a third. As evident in this photograph taken during that time, extensive restoration was being carried out on both Gothic windows and various sections of the cathedral's exterior. Published in April 1967 in Laings monthly newsletter "Team Spirit" this image serves as a testament to innovation and dedication within architectural preservation. It showcases how advancements like SBD Certite allowed for a delicate balance between maintaining historical integrity and ensuring structural longevity at Carlisle Cathedral.
