Cheddar have become the West\'s stockist of traditional lime mortar produced in France by Irish specialist suppliers Roundtower. According to Simon Armstrong, one of WCS\'s mason directors: "We see too many cases of old buildings deteriorating because they are suffocated by cement. If London\'s historic buildings had relied on cement, rather than lime mortar, Hitler\'s Blitz would have flattened far more of them. Lime mortar lets a building breathe, helping it to withstand the test of time. Our only problem was storage. So we bought the back of a lorry to store the lime mortar to meet demand from the region\'s architects and builders, who are rediscovering the practical and environmental attributes of lime."
