MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Wendyf]

Is it Fingal's Cave?

[Stanley]

Right area bit no. Even bigger clue, it's on the SW coast of the Isle of Eigg!

[Gloria]

Either the Cathedral or Massacre Cave??

[Stanley]

You've got it Gloria. It's what is known as the Massacre Cave. I say that because that's what I was told but when you read the descriptions of it it is probably more likely to be Cathedral Cave. Now, go on, guess where this is!

[Pluggy]

Judging by the ladies hat, somewhere on the "Isle of Eigg" .

[plaques]

Stanley I'm beginning to have doubts about your memory.

Here's where Jenny finished up. Lodged in a cave on the East side of the Isle of Eigg. This was in 1988, she'll still be there....
I never forget a pretty face.

[Stanley]

Nowt wrong with my memory P, I'm testing yours! Dead right, the remains of the Puffer Jenny in a cave on the NE corner of Eigg. Only accessible at low tide....
Next for shaving?

[plaques]

Ok. So where's this in Barlick

[Stanley]

Con Club?

[plaques]

Sorry, you should know there's no angels in the Con Club.

[David Whipp]

Without checking... New Ship?

[plaques]

Sorry again. The trouble with Barlickers is that they walk round looking at the ground hoping to find the odd 10p piece. Clue. head towards the steam engine.

[David Whipp]

Nay Plaques, it's penny pieces we're looking for!

"See a penny, pick it up - and all day you'll have a bad back..."

Camping in Capel Curig a few years ago, I used the phone box and found 2p on the floor.

Picking it up, I cracked the back of my head on the corner of the shelf and had a sore bonce for the rest of the day...

[plaques]

No spotters badge for the penny picker head bangers of Barlick. The carving can be seen over the doorway on one of the cottages at the bottom of Westgate.
Next please.

[Stanley]

[Cathy]

Looks a bit like one of those acting masks (the sad one), is this on the front of a townhall or movie theatre?

[Wendyf]

Thornton in Craven church?

[plaques]

Stanley, Are you trying to test my memory again?
"A similar style carving on a building on Lamb Hill in Barlick. The style is Medieval and I've always thought this could be a re-used stone from an older building, possibly the nearby Saxon chuch demolished in the 12th century."

[Stanley]

Yup! And you have done well, dead right. It looks like an Anglo Saxon head to me and could be proof that Barlick's ancient church, demolished by the monks, could have been stone built. It's above the door in the back yard of what I think was Hudson's building in Wapping. Used to be a pie shop....



Kelbrook Church about 1900. What is it that's very unusual about it?

[David Whipp]

Orientation?

[plaques]

The clock has a blue dial?

[Wendyf]

Main entrance through the tower...which seems to be in an odd place.

[PanBiker]

I'll go with Wendy and add that I think the clock has four faces.

[Tizer]

Did it used to have a steeple?

[Stanley]

All good points but Ian has it, four faces on the clock, very unusual in a small church. Try this one....
