Exactly right Kev. Well done. I'd never seen one before....
Try this one....



Where is it?

Ariziona or a Californian back lot of a film studio, probably been in lots of cowboy films.

Definitely in the US, it's got cowboy film written all over it. One of the national parks I reckon.

I think I may have seen it on an odd hostile planet setting for the original Star Trek as well.

Found it, it's definitely in a park in the US

Tell them Kev.....

Balanced Rock in the Garden of the Gods, a public park in Colorado Springs.

I'm sure you'll all have a good idea of who but where is the statue?

Could it be at Thoresby Hall?

It's very close to it, somewhere within the Thoresby Park estate. Let's see if anyone can pinpoint it exactly.

In the forecourt?

I'll give you that as it's the original location.

Your picture shows the Tussaud - Birt statue of Robin Hood situated in its original location outside the main entrance to Thoresby Hall. The statue was sculpted and sited there in 1948. In the 1950s Robin Hood's bow was stolen on at least one occasion for its lead value. Security issues became much more of an issue later on in the 1980s / 90s as ownership of the Hall changed hands, making a relocation of the statue necessary. Today the statue is situated in the courtyard outside Thoresby Art Gallery, just 200 yards from its original site which is where I photographed it.

What and where?

I know what these are but I'll leave it to others to have a go.

Utah marbles?

Well done Kev, spot on. I had an idea Peter would know what they are....
Next for shaving?

They're another form of concretion with the cement being haematite, red iron oxide, but it has migrated to the outside to form a thick, resistant layer. There are smaller ones on Mars! (Cue social media reports that Martians brought them to Utah!)

My favourite bridge at Brinnington near Stockport. The mystery question is... What is the technical description for a bridge like this?

Flippant answwer - a Rusty Bridge

More sensible answer a Girder Bridge ?

Sorry David no. There is an accepted name for the design taken from the man who first used it.

My wife has a set of haematite earrings, necklace and bracelet. They look very nice, the gold they're set in is worth a lot more than the haematite so dont tell her

Is it a Bailey Bridge?

Triangular truss bridge?

Sorry Graham but no. Kev, you are getting warm, it is a triangular truss but it is named after the inventor.....
