Image no.4 is the bank at Foxhill Bank Brow, please not the date stone reads 1900.
That not a vagrant, it's our tea, The shadows just makes it look like he's got a bit of hair. Which pillock stuck that crappy lamp post I front of an heritage building, If that had be done why can't they had used one like that in pic 2..... Nice Photos Bob a lot of people are grateful to see shots like these. Willow, brain cells don't die, we just get old and stupid.......

Re: I know where that is, it's......?
Looks like a minor memory failure on my part....still, allowable in the cicumstances.I wonder what they stuck the datestone round the back for, where people can't see it?
I'm glad you both enjoyed the walk up Ossy and I've no doubt you both appreciated the exercise. I'm just wondering if you may have checked out that gym...what's it like? Do you know what the rates are & what equipment they have.

It's just a shame you did'nt get a closer piccy of that lamp post....you don't see many like that these days.....maybe you could pop back over there this afternoon and take another piccy. Oh, and make some enquiries at the gym as well.........................

Re: I know where that is, it's......?
OK, first one there is Foxhill Bank Brow, second one is a closer view of the date stone area on that. Third one is the date stone which A-b first posted as the question. Fourth one is the ex-bank he says it belongs to and last one is a side view of that bank showing the location of the very date stone.

I'm not sure what my brain cells are doing this week Doug. I'm not even sure what date it is half the time.

It would have been funny if that "vagrant" had turned out to be Busman, he was up there with me.

That was in answer to the previous question - no I didn't check out the gym. I'm too busy having cramp in my leg!

I'II hold my hand up for backing Tealeaf, I was wrong too, I'd never even noticed a date stone around the back or even the red bricks.
