Refurbished Playhouse at Burne-Jones

The newly refurbished open playhouse and slide, at Burne Jones House young children's play area, looks very smart. Thanks to the work of H&F and the builders, who replaced the roof and repainted the structure of the equipment, to ensure it will be fun for many more years to come.
