Wouldn’t a coffin bell be inside the coffin, for the person who is buried alive to ring

Well done. That's what it is. It was rung by a piece of string going into the coffin Cathy, often tied round the corpse's ankle or wrist so that if they moved it rang the bell.

Got it, ofcourse the bell probably wouldn’t be heard from 6 foot under.

Do you know, I thought you might. Good Lad Tom, sit back and see if anyone has been taking notice.

Is it India Mill in Darwen?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 25 Jan 2024, 09:57
Yes Peter, exactly right. One of the forgotten facts about the mill is that when it was opened the owners held a large art exhibition in it and the chimney is modelled on an Italian Campanile.
Next one?

You are quite right. I jumped in without thinking! In my defence, both had chimneys modelled on campanile....
I am so ashamed, I shall go and hide in a corner for a short time.....

Is it an overhead view of tree planting?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 26 Jan 2024, 08:48
That’s what I thought Stanley, but thought that too simple.

I'm going to say Nazca but I have doubts
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 26 Jan 2024, 09:24
Nothing to do with tree planting and much closer to home than Nazca!

It looks like the back of something leather
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 26 Jan 2024, 10:05
Is it an aerial view of something? And that looks like a footpath through the middle of it.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Yes, you're correct on that, Tom. [See correction below]
