No, That was my Safari!

Love it, we tried to buy one new and couldn't get hold of one. Much in demand.

I was lucky Gloria, 'N' Registered, cost £4,800 and that was what I sold it for much later, they were still in demand! Never regretted the investment.
Now, the question, come on, christen it!

Leyland Super Comet with an Austin Cambridge/Morris Oxford on piggy back?

The 'piggy back' looks a lot like the Austin Westminster I bought in 1966. Similar cars are often seen in the old black and white films on Talking pictures TV. It had a 3 litre petrol engine, but I was between postings, and about to go to Germany where petrol was almost free, so not a consideration.

I think you are right Tripps.

I think he's right as well Gloria, it still used the power unit of the Leland Comet and I always assumed it was street legal as it was in use for a fair while. When last seen it was parked in the yard of the out barn above Marton Hall Farm on the Barlick road. Definitely a one off!
Anyone got the next one?

I came across this strangely named place in my travels. Any idea what that name is and where and what the building was?
[I say was because since I encountered it it has been replaced by a new building.]

That went down like a lead balloon! I shan't let it run for long.....

American style fire hydrant, newspaper seller, bicycle. otherwise very English architecture building. Guess at Melbourne, Australia.

Good observation. You deserve a clue. Try 19th century New York.

It's the old Manhattan House of Correction and the popular name for it was 'The Tombs'. In my days in NY it housed the Night Court as well. I bet that's still running and if you are ever in NY give it a try, all human life is there. Ethel took me there and it was a revelation, everything from Ladies of the night to murderers.

And what is the background to this image.

.

That looks familiar P! I shall keep stum and let others tell us.

Thanks Stanley, I think you have given everybody a good clue.

Did I?

A weir in or near Barlick, don't know Barlick so barring Google I'm stuck.

Amazing isn't it. Put the correct word into the OG search and you get 643 entries.

A small detail but a big clue

.

A flyball governor (mechanical), connected to a linkage to regulate flow.

Correct Gloria. Now starting with the date stones and something that the governor is connected to. What place are we talking about?

I haven't a clue, I don't know Barnoldswick at all.

Is it to do with the weir on Butts Beck? I've been googling.

Sorry Gloria its out of town. Think of Stanley's big project after he had 'retired' and the 643 references to it in OG.
