8) Plaque over a house in Chequers Must be where Thurston Smith lived......an engineer.
Thurston worked at the brick yard on Enfield Rd, he was a Model Engineer, his projects can be seen in Ossy Mills, they are in glass display cases, he also made a brick clay model of part of Clayton. Thurston also made a working model of a brick making machine, where that is now I don't know.

I double checked on the way home, must be at least 10. There is a good one with stuff growing around it, very photogenic position.

Did you not see the lovely colours tonight , me neither.

Yeah. I believe the owner works in another department somewhere in the building, I guess zeus started off following and started hanging around the benches relaxing on those sunny days......

Yes he is.
And when I first read that...I thought you meant that the dude was old looking .......the dude is my other half......the little girl is my daughters girl.
(no, I don't call her that G daughter thing because I have never been that G thing....I hat being called that G thing...and anyone who calls me that does it at their peril)

I was so pleased they have salvaged that mosaic, although does need a little bit of attention.

The mosaic is lovely Kate...very colourful. The grass hasn't quite grown over the bare bits of ground yet, but it is a lovely area.
If you want some padding for you BTM....I can let you have some of mine.
Though I'm not entirely sure how I would get it to you.
Second thoughts...do as Jen says Take a cushion- and an umbrella

[katex]

Well, I'll go to the bottom of our stairs .... could have sworn they were stone slabs for seats ....ok, who switched them ?

Here's some pictures of this new garden area taken just now. Still looks pretty in the rain, and the rain doesn't half make the grass look an amazing colour of green :
