I think you both deserve it. As for the clue, thanks Kev, I was rather chuffed with it myself. You have cited the web article that suggested it to me.
Now we need another one....

Sorry no Cathy.
Just seen your post Kev and the answer is no.
To make it clearer. There is a direct visual link between the two images. Not hidden, in clear sight.
Hope that helps.... :biggrin2:

Bakers? Jim Pollard was raised in a bakery in Earby and there's a pub in Stockport Market Place called Baker's Vaults...

That's a clever one but no Kev. Much more clear and graphic than that.

Its a bit of a tip on the window ledge, health and safety would have something to say about that nowadays.

Does the Horse on the sign have anything to do with it?

I've just realised you mean Jim's cill at Bancroft. No, there is no pool cue there only old but essential items connected with the drawing in frame he is working on.
Sorry Cathy, nothing to do with horses.
Another clue. The connecting Item is in clear sight and in the foreground in both pictures.

I can't think of another clue that doesn't give it away. I'll knock it on the head later this morning if there is no movement.

Time to knock this on the head. In the picture of Jim Pollard drawing in at Bancroft Shed the small mechanism on the rail of the drawing in frame that moves along selecting the threads for Jim is called a traveller. The sign in the pub window bars travellers. Simple as that and depended on you knowing what the small mechanism was called.
Anyone care to put the next one up?

Sorry Cathy but no, between them those three clever clogs have cracked it. Rocks in Death Valley tha move, seemingly, of their own volition.
Next one?
