Is the Sash Pocket important?
After reading the posts concerning the relative merits? of the sash pocket. I wondered why conservation officers being concerned with the aesthetic qualities such as materials, glazing bar profiles etc etc offered no advice about this subject.
By telephone I spoke to some 9 conservation officers in and around London concerning this topic, every response was virtually the same "What's a sash pocket?". When I asked about any other topic re sash windows they seemed to offer good advice.
It seems that as long as it looks the part its ok...
I made so many searches on the net that I had a headache for two days, then I found this article...
As Phil said all along, the proof of a capable sash window maker lies in the pocket. This article draws on historical data from the 1750s that confirms that the sash pocket is the most difficult part to construct. Secondly the article states that the knowledge and process has been lost.
