MYSTERY OBJECTS

[plaques]

Somewhere in Barlick. Quite a museum piece actually. What Is it? Where is It?

[PanBiker]

It's an early Fire Point marker later ones have the "H" for hydrant. Probably seen it but cant say for definite where.

[Stanley]

Old Fire Plug marker. On the wall of the old water board offices on the Croft?

[plaques]

PanBiker is first there with the 'Fire Point' marker. Now replaced with the ubiquitous yellow 'H' hydrant sign. A clue is that this street still retains the cobble sets.

[PanBiker]

King Street then one of the oldest bits of Barlick, opposite where Ivory Hall used to be. My Gran lived at number 15 and My Auntie at 17 back in the 50's.

[plaques]

PanBiker's got it. Just needed a bit of memory jogging.
Next Please.

[Stanley]

[plaques]

And there's a plaque on the front telling you all about it.

[Stanley]

Any offers?

[Cathy]

Used for pulling up supplies into the boarded up opening

[Stanley]

Deas right Cathy, any guess which building? Clue.... not far from where you lived.....

[Pluggy]

Its on the gable end of of what is now the Strategy pub on Manchester road, although the gable end is on Bethesda street.

For once I knew where it was before perusing street view. I walk past it most days, living just around the corner.

[plaques]

Now that Pluggy's got it I'll steal a bit of Stanley's thunder by showing this plaque. Actually its the limit of what I know of the building.

[Stanley]

Dead right of course Pluggy.



In June 2005.
Next for shaving?

[chinatyke]

This interesting object came to my attention the other day, it might be a bit obvious to some, but accurate description please.

[Stanley]

It's obviously a plate for poached eggs.....

[David Whipp]

Ancient Chinese celestial map.

[Wendyf]

A slice of underground power cable.

[chinatyke]

A slice of underground power cable.

Love the answers.
Wendy, close but not quite.

[PanBiker]

I'm with Wendy on this one.

[Gloria]

A junction for two power cables

[David Whipp]

Oceanic telecommunication cable...

...it's big for broadband...

[PanBiker]

Submarine power cable then.

[chinatyke]

Submarine power cable then.

Wendy was very close but well done, Ian, you hit the nail head on the head.

It is a cross section sliced from an undersea electric power cable.That is all I know about it.

[Stanley]

As soon as I saw Wendy'[s answer I knew she was right. Why didn't I see that?
