 ESALVO FRIDAY 19 OCTOBER 2007
Baptist Tabernacle from Swindon to Swindon via Northants
ROD Bluh, Swindon council leader, has bagged a prominent piece of architectural stone salvage - the pedimented giant order colonnade of Swindon's old Baptist Tabernacle built in 1886. The bath stone building was demolished in 1978 and bought by Stanley Frost who had planned to use it to build a house in Malmesbury. He moved the 300 tonnes of stone portico to a field. After ten years had elapsed with no sign of a rebuild his son, Alan Frost, hawked the ensemble around west country salvage yards (I remember it being offered to Walcot in the 1980's - ed) and when there were still no takers he finally advertised it on SalvoWEB in 1996. Eventually Neill Taylor saw it and bought it, moved it to Northants, and set about trying to get planning permission for it to be adapted as a house. Then a shopping centre planned for Swindon needed a centrepiece and Rod Bluh heard about it, contacted Mr. Taylor and persuaded his fellow councillors to dig deep. Neill Taylor was paid £340,000 and the whole shabang was moved back to Swindon - or Wroughton Airfield to be precise. "I was sorry to see it go," Neill said. "Since buying it seven year's ago, after finding an old ad at the back of SalvoWEB, I have moved it around my yard three times and come to know it intimately. But I am very happy that it will be rebuilt in Swindon." Neill Taylor, a developer who has used a good deal of salvage over the years, is now thinking about seriously going into salvage himself by starting a yard.
Source find new premises
ROD Donaldson has bagged a prominent acre site in central Bath with a dozen big workshops, which he is currently refurbing prior to relocating Source's English Rose antique kitchen empire, so he has workshops and showrooms on one site. "It all happened recently at a fiftieth birthday party," Rod said. "Don Foster (Bath's MP) asked 'How's it going?' and I said it would be fine if I could find a decent premises, so he called over the owner of this site and we did a deal. It suited him to have a tenant as the place was getting vandalised." So that's how to do it. Source now has a five year lease on the entire Victoria Park Business Centre.
D & P Theodore certified with Green Dragon EMS
D & P THEODORE Sons and Daughters Building Salvage and Reclamation, aka The Chimneypot Man, of Bridgend, Glamorgan, is one of a thousand Welsh businesses who have been certified by Groundworks with their new Green Dragon Environmental Management System. This requires businesses to be aware of the impact they have on the local and global environment, to keep compliant with legislation, to prevent pollution, and to be subjected to an annual review by Groundworks. Dennis Theodore writes, "Unfortunately, Green Dragon EMS is only available for the people from God's chosen country. There may be similar schemes elsewhere. It sounded time-consuming with a lot of paperwork but once we had started with the Groundwork Trust it required limited time from Pat and myself over four visits and we now have a nice certificate, a little paperwork and an annual visit."
Dorset recycled wood exported to Germany
ECO Sustainable Solutions Ltd, aka Eco-Composting, has sold 2,000 tonnes of woodchips from Dorset waste transfer stations to one of the 50 waste-to-energy biomass plants in Germany where it will provide enough energy to power 5,000 homes for six weeks. Eco Composting has applied for planning to build a £7 million biomass plant at Parley which would a first for the UK and would generate 2.7MW from 25,000 tonnes of wood a year. (We have asked what percentage of the wood was demolition timber which could have been reused, or how much energy it took to chip the wood and transport it to Germany. The company are looking into it and will get back to us.)

 FLAGSTONE RECORD AT GAZE'S
'THERE was light drizzle all day,' Carl Willows said, referring to the architectural salvage sale of T W Gaze at Diss on 18 August 2007, 'but stock market jitters seemed to be having a discernible impact, even though garden benches which had been struggling at other Gaze sales this year went very well, one lot of York stone flagstones sold for £145 which broke our auction flagstone record, and a Victorian marble bath used by young Japanese ladies doubled its estimate to become the sale's top lot at £5400 inc premiums and vat selling to the UK trade with a US underbidder.'
At a time when Christie's has shunted its buyer's premium to 25 per cent, and many provincial UK auction houses have pushed theirs up to 15 per cent, Gaze has this year held its buyer's premium at 10 per cent. It's seller's premium is 10 per cent on lots up to £500, and 5 per cent above that.
The next Gaze sale is the Rural and Domestic Bygones on Saturday 8th September at which Mr Willows says, 'There will be the usual old mix . . . and this time some nice handcarts consigned by Mr. Peter Watson of Cox's Yard in Gloucestershire.'

 BALTIC EXCHANGE SELLS TO ESTONIA VIA SALVO FAIR AND A SALVOWEB AD
THE Baltic Exchange has been bought via an ad on SalvoWEB for around the asking price of £750,000 from Extreme Architecture of Kent by two Estonian businessmen, Eerik-Niiles Kross and Heiti Haar, and has been shipped to Tallinn where it will be rebuilt as part of a prestige office and housing development.
"This is the largest chunk of architectural salvage to have found a home via the internet," said Thornton Kay, one of the two partners of Salvo Llp, the London and Bath based global information network for demolished buildings. "SalvoWEB was set up in 1994 and is the oldest salvage site on the web. We were there before Yell and eBay, and we still attract more visitors than either - around 14,000 a day - in our sector of the market."
"The 1902 Baltic Exchange in the City of London was where the world's shipping was handled inside a massive marble-clad trading hall with a classical frontage, which was photographed, marked up, carefully dismantled and trucked to warehouses in Reading after the blast from an IRA bomb knocked it off its footings in 1992. The plan was to rebuild it, but during that period the shipping floor became an anachronism, so after a lot of umming and ahhing the insurers were given permission to build what has become Norman Foster's iconic Gherkin on the site."
"Then English Heritage tried to sell the old building intact, but failed, so eventually it was put on the market and bought first by North Wales salvage dealer Derek Davies, who shipped the 50 or more artic loads from Reading to Cheshire. Derek advertised the Baltic Exchange in SalvoNEWS. Restorer and dealer Dennis Buggins, of Extreme Architecture in Kent, bought it from Derek and then moved the whole lot to various farm buildings and barns around Canterbury."
"Every year we hold the world's only architectural salvage fair at Knebworth in July, so last year Dennis booked the biggest stand at the fair and brought some of the Baltic Exchange, including the 40ft long stone pediment carvings. We commissioned performance artist Mark McGowan to highlight our 'Reclamation before Recycling' campaign, and he chose to do this by somersaulting from the Gherkin to Knebworth, which took him an arduous two weeks, arriving at Knebworth during the Salvo Fair."
"Salvo Fair is organised by Ruby Kay, my daughter, with the help of siblings Boz Kay, Beth Kay, Poppy Kay and Lily Kay, and of course me - the ageing Dad. The next one will be held next weekend (Fri 29 Jun trade day, and Sat 30 June and Sun 1 July), and we hope that it will not only encourage people to think about reuse of old building materials, rather than their destruction in landfill, but persuade them come and buy. Five hundred tons of materials will be available for sale on five acres of Knebworth's deer park just off the A1(M) in Hertfordshire. This year there will be a load of interesting stuff including parts of the old Royal Box at Ascot, flagstones from Paternoster Square and Lord Snowdon's London Zoo aviary, a possible Roman stone aqueduct from France, a pillar box from Mortlake, ten brutalist 1960's stone planters from Stevenage town centre, and even some bits of old Serbian smokehouses"
"Eerik-Niiles Kross, the Tallinn businessman and historian who at one time ran Estonia's secret service and represented Estonia at NATO talks, was trawling SalvoWEB on the internet for reclaimed flooring at the time of last year's Salvo Fair, and came across the ad for the Baltic Exchange. He is the son of one of Estonia's most famous authors, Jaan Kross, who was incarcerated as a patriot in 1944 by the Nazi's, before being captured by the Red army in 1946 and spending eight years in a Siberian gulag, only being allowed home when Stalin died."
"I had not realised quite how good the Estonians had become on the web. For example they invented Skype, and they are now the most informed state in Europe on state-wide ddos attacks after Russian government servers tried to bring their entire network down last year. This was after the Estonians moved a prominent Russsian war memorial into a cemetery, upsetting the Russians who live in Estonia."
"I guess that Kross and his partner, Heiti Haal, see the rebuilding of the Baltic Exchange in Tallinn as a kind of bricks-and-mortar political statement, establishing a feature building that not only creates another dimension to the architecture of Tallinn, much of which is Soviet, but also pointedly brings a physical part of the financial culture of the West bang up against the Russian border. The Baltic countries have put on a brave face against intimidation by the Russians for decades."
"Interestingly, the movement of reclaimed materials around Europe has been gathering momentum, in the UK partly due to the stupidity of the government spending hundreds of millions in the past ten years crushing bricks and chipping reusable demolition wood as mulch. The shortage of local materials means that we now import reclaimed flooring and bricks from Estonia, so it is fitting that we should export an architectural icon back to them. Although you could argue that it makes no sense in climate change terms to move materials long distances, moving old bricks 1000 miles by ship expends a fraction of the energy used in making new ones, so it is still beneficial to the environment. The UK salvage trade were world pioneers and are still, despite the difficulties, probably world leaders."
"We use 3,000 million new bricks a year in the UK, and we destroy 3,000 million old ones, and every 12 bricks embodies the energy of a gallon of petrol - so where's the logic of that? The UK salvage trade rescue around 130 million of these bricks, for which they receive no subsidy, while WRAP - the UK government quango - gives millions of pounds a year to help crush reusable old bricks. Ten years ago none were crushed, now probably 2 billion or more are crushed every year. We have written to successive ministers of state, including David Milliband, but without success. The government would be better off tipping the bricks whole into landfill, because then at least they could be mined and reused in 100 years time, and they would not be wasting the huge amount of fossil fuel that it takes to crush them all."
"Derek Davies and Dennis Buggins should be congratulated for their tenacity in taking on the Baltic Exchange project and successfully concluding it. Three times Dennis has nearly sold the Baltic Exchange, for a home in Long Island NY, for a housing and office scheme at Greenwich UK, and to the developers of London's Battersea power station. These two guys succeeded when the combined forces of the City of London, Swiss Re, English Heritage and UK conservation movement failed to achieve its relocation. At one stage it looked as if the fabulous marble would be turned into kitchen work surfaces, and the stone would be landfilled. Now at least the building has been kept intact and will be appreciated. When it is no longer required in Tallinn in a hundred years time, who knows, someone may buy it and bring it back to blighty!"

NEW TV PROGRAMME SEEKS RESCUED BUILDING STORIES
Dear Salvo
As the producers of 'Grand Designs', Channel 4 have commissioned Talkback Thames to make a series called 'Grand Designs: Trade Secrets' which will air on their new digital channel More4 straight after the C4 show ends, hostted by Kevin McCloud. It's going to be a studio- based magazine style show where a panel of architects take on interesting topics from the main series and we take a closer look at the aspirations, influences and trials and tribulations of the people involved in the build of their dream home.
Alex and Cheryl Reay realised their dreams when they left London and bought a romantic chocolate box 17th century cottage in the New Forest. After considerable renovation work and just three days before the birth of their first child, a fire broke out in the chimney destroying the thatch roof all the way through to ground floor level. To make matters considerably worse, their buildings insurance had lapsed and both Alex and Cheryl were out of work. In spite of this nightmare they decided to stay and rebuild their cottage, thatch and all.
We'd like to do a feature on other people who have saved buildings which looked beyond rescue or could have been abandoned in situ (fire, flood, soil erosion, forced moves because of runways, highways, reservoirs etc.) - do you know of any such stories? Are you in contact with companies which salvage entire buildings, frames etc. and give them a new lease life?
I hope to hear from you or anyone else this may be of interest to.
With thanks,
Judith Parker

PERIOD LIVING MAGAZINE SALVAGE FEATURE
PERIOD Living magazine intends to start producing a new architectural salvage feature, by writers like Jesse Carrington of Lassco, which will include a showcase page of nine trade display ads.
The magazine is being relaunched following its sale to Centaur, publishers of 'Homebuilding & Renovating' and 'Move or Improve', and the new salvage pages will appear in a new renovation section in the new format mag.
The salvage showcase ads page is intended for dealers in architectural and garden antiques, reclaimed building materials and salvage, and Salvo Code supporting repro businesses.
Period Living has offered to underpin these ads with a promotion of the Salvo Code and inclusion of the crane logo on supporters ads. We are sure this promotion by PL will generate more awareness of the Salvo code and more sales for supporters, in what has been one of the key magazines of choice for trade advertisers ever since the 1980's.
Contact Emma Farrington to advertise on 020 7970 4421.

SALVOWEB OFFLINE MONDAY 7TH AUGUST
IMPORTANT message for SalvoWEB users
----------------------------------
Between 9am - 11am Monday 7th August 2006 the old SalvoWEB server will be turned off, the data will be trasnferred and a new improved and bigger server will be turned on. This will mean that for a short time none of the SalvoWEB sites, nor those hosted by Salvo will be available.
The timetable for events is as follows:
Monday 7th August 2006
0900 BST: Old server turned off, data transferred, email addresses transferred. NOTE: No emails will be 'lost' during the transfer.
1100 BST: New server turned on, all web sites will be back up and running but no changes can be made by users, no new items and no deletions.
NOTE: User control panels will be out of action today. There may be short web outages during server restart and tweaking.
Tuesday 8th August 2006
1700 BST: Control panels will be turned back on, with everything functional.
NOTE: User control panels will be out of action until 5pm. There may be short web outages during server restart and tweaking.
Wednesday 9th August 2006
Normal service is resumed.
The timetable above is notional. We hope the transition will be quicker. We are upgrading our server software, operating system and database software at the same time, so there may be hidden issues which will need to be resolved.
We apologise for any incovenience caused during the installation of this new main server at Rackspace. Our current main server is handling an average of 15,000 visitors a day and the images files are very much bigger than they used to be, both of which cause a much bigger load than previously. Hopefully this server should see us through another two years of steady growth.

 MARK MCGOWAN LIMBERING UP
ARTIST Mark McGowan's next big adventure as artist-in-residence of this year's Salvo Fair starts tomorrow Friday 16th June at 10am from the Gherkin in the city of London, where he will attempt to roll head over heals for 40 miles to the Salvo Fair at Knebworth in Hertfordshire. The endurance event will last over two weeks. Mark is trying to raise awareness about salvage and believes that the current recycling phenomenon will destroy the planet. Mark will have sponge on his head and back and will be carrying an old door and four reclaimed house bricks the entire journey.
For more info and images see the Salvo Fair web site (linked below) 'Press' pages. And see the SalvoNEWS blog (linked below) for updates and more details about Mark and the Fair.
RADIO & TV: Tonight Mark will be on Capital Gold radio at 6.40pm, and tomorrow Channel 5 'The Wright Stuff', BBC 3Counties, BBC Ulster, London Tonight, Capital Gold again, and others, with Richard & Judy joining in later the following week, possibly at the Reclaimed Brick abbey of St Albans. We hope more press may join in on the way and help reinforce the message - 'Reclaim and Reuse, don't destroy and recycle'

BATHHOUSE RESTORATION WEB HIJACK
Bathhouse Restoration, Bath UK
Monday 22 May 2006
Trade notice
----------
As most of you are aware Bathhouse Restoration has recently opened a new website to separate trade and private customers. Our website address is www victorian-taps com. Unfortunately another reclamation company in Bath has bought the name www victoriantaps com (without the hyphen) and is directing traffic to their own website. This took place a few days after the launch of our victorian-taps site. This has led people to believe we are the same company. We would like everyone to know that Bathhouse Restoration is an independent buisness with no connection to any other Bath reclamation company. Bathhouse Restoration is directed by Paul McGowan and Chris Stocker. We would like to thank the trade for all the support we have received over this matter.

 ROLLING GHERKIN TO KNEBWORTH DEMONSTRATION 10AM FRIDAY
Mark McGowan, artist-in-residence for this year's Salvo Fair, will be somersaulting from the Gherkin in London to Knebworth House in Hertfordshire in June and he hopes to arrive by the start of the fair on 1st July 2006.
Mark will be doing some sample leaps, each over a pile of bricks on a reclaimed door, for the benefit of interested journalists and press photographers on the pavement outside the Gherkin at 10am on Friday 5th May.
Why the Gherkin?
Mark is starting at the Gherkin because the Baltic Exchange, that used to be on the site, will be for sale at the Salvo Fair. The Baltic Exchange was a no-expense-spared Beaux Arts extravaganza which contained the finest materials the world's biggest shipping companies could buy and was probably the last building of its type ever built. When the building's structure was damaged in an explosion the exterior marble cladding and fab interiors were carefully dismantled and stored prior to the rebuild, but the rebuild never happened. Instead the decision was taken to build the Gherkin. Eventually an architectural salvage dealer bought the remains, which were shipped from Reading to Manchester and finally to Kent. And yes, they will be taken to the Salvo Fair at Knebworth this year where they will be displayed by the current owner, Dennis Buggins of Extreme Architecture.
Why the somersaulting?
Mark McGowan is going head over heels to Knebworth as his way of saying that more salvage should be reclaimed and reused and less recycled and destroyed. This is what he says: 'In an extraordinary art performance environmentally conscious artist Mark McGowan is intending to roll head over heals on top of a door for 40 miles. Sponge will be strapped onto his head and back he will then attempt to dive over four household bricks which are placed on top of a door which has hinges in the middle and then move the door along, this incredible feat of endurance will be repeated for 40 miles from London to Knebworth.'

DEREK GILES PASSES AWAY
DEREK Giles of D J & B Giles, Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, passed away suddenly on 7th March 2006. He was born in Highbury and evacuated to Stokenchurch during the war, with his brothers Clive, Jumbo and Arthur. He has always considered the village, where he is a much-respected pillar of the community, to be his home. The funeral will be held at 2pm on Monday next 20th March at the Church of St Peter & St Paul, Stokenchurch. Mrs Betty Giles, who married Derek 45 years ago, would like to thank everyone for the flowers and cards.
'Derek was one of the trade's great characters, one of the original demolition men who moved into reclamation in the 1970's, especially in bricks and tiles in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamdshire, with a passion for the trade, and a unique attitude to business,' Steve Tomlin said. 'He was legend.'

SALVONEWS IS COMING!
Sorry about the delay . . . the Salvo Fair, a huge ongoing website update, brief summer holidays and a brand new production computer with a suite of brand new software have slowed things to a crawl. However, all the SalvoNews ads are currently being redone in the new format and hopefully sn254 will be with subscribers within the next couple of weeks.
Please keep emailing stories, ads and letters.
Once again, apologies, TK

 SALVO FAIR 2005 DEALER SURVEY RESULTS
This year's Salvo fair was deemed a success by almost everyone. It may have been the better weather or the £20,000 spent on marketing, compared to £5,000 last year, which resulted in a doubling in the visitor numbers to 4,000, perhaps the minimum needed to produce a feel-good factor for the trade. Some dealers made a huge effort to support the fledgling show, with Jason Davies and Ed Pearce once again gaining top marks for effort with a pitch covering an acre that contained four articsful of salvage.
The fair started at 10am on Saturday and ran through to 5pm Sunday. One stand dropped out for the Sunday, and most were beginning to clear up at around 4pm on the Sunday, although people were still buying. Generally, it seems as though Saturday was a stronger buying day, but some had their best day on Sunday. There were more dealers around on Saturday, and a few journalists, amongst whom stalwarts included the Evening Standard, and this year two Italians came from Salvo's long-time Italian colleagues at Stefano Trentini's the Rome-based Casa Antica magazine.
One of the shows star attractions, a pair of nine feet high birds carved from a single piece of wood, on offer from Olliffs Architectural in Bristol for £8,500, sold on Saturday for an undisclosed sum to Cronins Reclamation of Surrey. Despite interest in both George V's bath and the Shanks canopy once owned by Elaine Page, neither sold during the show.
On the Saturday evening there was an impromptu exhibitors get together which resulted, according to one present, in some of the assembly seeing in the dawn 'before returning to Hotel Guantanomo in a state of glorious confusion'.
Of the forty dealers who came, 16 completed an online survey. three-quarters said this year's fair was good or excellent, half sold between £5,000 to £10,000 over the weekend and all were expecting similar post-fair sales. Several dealers asked for a better demarcated trade v public opening, so we will probably make part of Friday an official trade day next year. This year over twenty dealers popped into the organiser's tent to request details of pitch prices, which bodes well for next year. There will probably be a new range of pitch sizes and prices next year too, and to quash this year's complaints from the anti-metric lobby pitches will be sold in old pre-Imperial areas - rods, roods and vergees - with some ancient Egyptian and Chinese thrown in for good measure.
Finally, for those whose concern for Salvo's finances is touching, we once again inevitably lost money on the Salvo Fair, but at least this time the show was deemed universally successful, and as the fair builds and we gradually fine tune our marketing budget we hope to move into profit (some time in 2025!). Next year's fair will be held on 1st and 2nd July 2006.

Over time new features will be included, you will be told about these by email.
We apologise in advance for the interruption of service, but this is unavoidable. The launch of the new system is the culmination of work that started in October 2003. The new system may not work flawlessy at first as it involves some pretty advanced stuff, but we hope it will eventually prove to be a world-beater.

 T W GAZE ARCHITECTURAL SATURDAY 11 JUNE
GAZE'S forthcoming architectural salvage sale will feature the usual mix of 1,200 lots of architectural salvage, reclaimed materials and garden antiques, including this time some green wallpaper from Napoleon's home in exile on Elba, as well as part of his shroud. There are also some of old wooden beehives, the new must-have for aspiring Bunny Guinness garden makeoverists, as well as two cupola tower vents, one copper clad dalek at £800 and one cheaper at £600 (good luck). Some nice stonework includes a 20th century columned circular gazebo, catalogued 'Garden Temple', estimated at £4,000. A stone three-tier fountain, pond surrounds, other fountains. There is the biggest ever bathroom section at this sale, ancient to modern, headed by good condition WC pans including Doulton's Wizard, Royal and Ripple, and a nice floral multi-coloured Convolvulus with slight damage. There are more details and links to the sale catalogue below.
THE Bygones sale on May 21st was, according to auctioneer-in-charge, Carl Willows, a good sale with not many star pieces but a strong middle range, with each category pursued by its own specialist collectors. For example, an 18th century lark roaster, hotly contested, sold to a London collector for £550 against £250 estimate. Tractor collectors pushed a Ransomes Patent Ploughs & Irons Kept In Stock enamel sign to £775, and a Fordson to £520. But on the whole, enamel signs are down unless they are very unusual or in very good condition, said Mr Willows. Painted pine beehives sold for £140 and £90, a local ginger beer flaggon GOSLING went at £250. This was estimated at £40 but only two others are known to exist, earthenware 2 gallon, with contents, 'smelled absolutely revolting,' CW said. Two leather and lead bull horn straighteners sold for £130 and a Capito mouse trap for £85. Some not particularly good taxidermy - a cased specimen chub and a trout - went for £48 and £70. There has been an increase in taxidermy of late apparently. A leather, fabric and turned wood horse posture trainer sold for £110, above its £40 expectations. A National till, Dayton Ohio, sold for £300 but the American flag did not. To sum up, the top end was doing well, middle strong and low end bad, and of course furniture is dire. 'Nowhere is safe,' Mr Willows said, 'but I think people are going for top quality.'
