Pumpable natural hydraulic lime mortar from Easipoint provided the finish required for the restoration of walls surrounding Clithroe Castle in Lancashire's Ribble Valley. The mortar met the need for a traditional lime-based material and offered the advantage of gun-injection, which enabled the contractors to fill substantial voids in the stonework and joints up to 25mm wide. The walls, believed to date back to the 15th Century, had become overgrown with ivy, which was removed to reveal significant deterioration of the existing mortar. The repointing work is part of the first phase of improvements including paving and night-time illumination of the castle.
