[Big Kev]

It's a water wheel.

[Stanley]

Absolutely correct Kev. Now we need another.....

[Stanley]

Try this. What is it?

[PanBiker]

A clockwork movement from an old gas lamp, we have had this before more than once.

[Stanley]

Yes but if you are getting bored put an object up....



What and where.....

[Big Kev]

Where's this doorway?

[Stanley]

A pub. Is it the Lord Nelson?

[Big Kev]

It is a pub, not the Lord Nelson though.

[PanBiker]

Stanley's is the Great Rock near Todmorden.

[Big Kev]

Stanley's is the Great Rock near Todmorden.

We must have posted at the same time, I didn't see the rock. It looks like it was edited in after that'll be why

[Stanley]

That's right, the rock is at Todmorden.
Nice encaustic tiles in the pub picture.

[plaques]

Kev must visit some very posh pubs. Similar encaustic tiles can be seen in the Palace of Westminster and locally Burnley and Colne town halls. Also can be found in Rosehill House Hotel Burnley. Some very interesting mosaics can be found in pub entrances which happens to be one of the nerdish collection themes of mine.

But where this pub is I've no idea.

[Wendyf]

Is it the Crown Hotel in Colne?

[Big Kev]

Is it the Crown Hotel in Colne?

It is indeed, well spotted Wendy.

[Stanley]

Curses, that was my next guess thinking about the K&P lunches......

[Stanley]

Any idea where this bridge is?

[Stanley]

No takers? Not on Google image search?
Ask yourself where there is a body of water that fits that image......

[Wendyf]

Somewhere on the Caledonian Canal?

[Big Kev]

Not on Google image search?

It is, yes. I'm with Wendy on the location. Caledonian Canal, Aberchalder Swing Bridge.

[Stanley]

Bugger! I had it down as Ness on my neg file.
Next one?

[Stanley]

What is notable about the signal that protected the level crossing from the sidings into Barlick Station?

[PanBiker]

Was it an original design from the introduction of the line in Barlick?

[Stanley]

Could have been Ian, I don't know. But there is something basically wrong with it. That's what I am after....

[Steeplejerk]

Spelt wrong

[Stanley]

Nice try Tom but no cigar....
