Is it the old outlet pipe from the turbine that at one time drove the Corn Mill in Barlick. It's in the bottom of the beck outside the mill of course. Almost certainly cast at Bracewell's foundry in Burnley around 1860/1870.?

Well done both of you. Between you you have given as much as I know about the Pipe.

This should be fairly easy, it's at Fountains Abbey but what's it called?

Only thing you could add is 'reredorter' or 'necessarium'.

Nay ( or perhaps neigh :biggrin2: ). A clue, the original artists are Alex Rigg and Trevor Leat and it's, apparently, modelled on a champion.

Another clue, the horse was stabled here during the 1960s.
There's a bonus pat on the back of you can name the horse.
