Dolphin and Anchor Hotel, Chichester

Recently commissioned to restore the two famous dolphin and anchor carvings on the roof of the old Dolphin & Anchor Hotel in West Street, Chichester, West Sussex, which is now a Wetherspoons pub and Waterstones Bookshop. These were completely stripped to bare stone then repainted with many coats and finally gilded in 23 carat gold leaf.

If you're in the city, go and take a look.
