MYSTERY OBJECTS

[plaques]

The boundary stone marker on Lister Well Rd. Behind the caravan park in the old quarry.

[Stanley]

Clever bugger Stanley knows what it is..... 871 ft is the clue....
There is more than one....

The boundary stone marker on Lister Well Rd. Behind the caravan park in the old quarry.

No.

Clever bugger Stanley knows what it is.....

I thought you would Stanley!

They don't have the normal benchmark arrow on for a spot height, pre-date O.S? With one at 500 and the other at 800 it can't be anything to do with the canal which would have been my next guess. I have wandered all over the fields and paths of Barlick all my life and I have to say I haven't a clue on this one.

[David Whipp]

I haven't a clue on this one.

Sorry to be boring and leave you guessing, but I need to go out soon.

They are part of Barlick's WW2 home defence ranging stones. So that the archers could get a measure on the Panza tanks before they could enter Barlick.

[Stanley]

David gave the clue. They are cores from the bore at Whitemoor water works. The one I posted is in Letcliffe Park. Try this one....

[David Whipp]

They are cores from the bore at Whitemoor water works.

Of course correct, my example is in one of the 'pocket gardens' on Calf Hall Road.

New pic: US court?

[Stanley]

Closer to home than the US David......

[David Whipp]

A council chamber? (not one I'm familiar with, though.)

[Stanley]

Getting colder.....

[plaques]

Stoneyhurst College lecture room.

[Stanley]

Good suggestions but I think I ought to come clean. It's Room 600 in the Nuremberg Courts of Justice where the War trials were held.... A sobering place to visit.... Try this one....

The Zeppelinfeld ?? Zeppelin Field

[David Whipp]

Site of an atrocity previously used for a prestigious sporting event (Balkans?).

[Wendyf]

What remains of the stadium at Nuremburg?

[PanBiker]

Nuremberg stadium where Hitler had the Nazi rally's.

[Stanley]

Glo, Wendy and Ian got it right. It's the remains of the podium where Hitler stood at the Nuremberg rallies, the old Zeppelin Field. The road across the front is the 'Marching Road and pointed directly towards the Kaiserburg which was the seat of the hereditary Electors in Nuremberg and at one time the seat of the Holy Roman Emperor. After the war a large office block was built to obscure the view. Hitler was tapping into the history of Germany and its legends and myths to reinforce his warped ideology. See Leni Riefenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will' which was filmed there during a rally. Frightening stuff!



Name the bridge.

[David Whipp]

Brooklyn?

[Gloria]

I agree with David---Brooklyn Bridge

[Stanley]

Of course it is. The thing that grabbed me was the 'Hooverville' on the shore. Homeless people living within a stone throw of one of the richest cities in the world.
Try this....

[David Whipp]

Picture hook (but not for use with picture rail).

[PanBiker]

Stair rod bracket

[David Whipp]

Stair rod bracket

Yes, better idea than mine.

[Gloria]

Fancy hat and coat hook??
