Daahir passing on skills at historic pub

Heritage Crafts bursary recipient Daahir Mohamed is helping restore an historic pub near Bath while teaching refugees an important skill through his Bristol Heritage Skills initiative.

Daahir came to the UK from Somalia as a refugee himself and is now a skilled lime plasterer. He’s currently working on the 500-year-old Hop Pole pub in Limpley Stoke, which was saved from development by the community in 2022.
