Ryheill House, a grade II listed structure forming part of the Newcastle College campus. The structure was suffering as a result of bird fouling. On close inspection of this image, two pigeons can be seen at the top of the building.

Two rows of bird spikes are used where ledges are wide enough to allow birds to sit behind single file spikes.
As part of Newcastle College, the stone facade of Ryehill House, a grade II listed structure, was retained and now serves as a gateway to the College’s new campus. However, a moderate population of pigeons was a cause for concern. St Astier were called in to install a series of bird spikes to prevent birds from roosting on ledges. The operation took one half day to complete.
This project was added to our site on 16 June 2007 and is currently filed under Bird Control .
