Initially I thought chimney but, looking closer, there's a railing around the top. Is it a lighthouse?

I guess it's one of these. Scottish lighthouses.

I'll try Ardnamurchan. . .

The antennas are interesting.

They look like VHF Band I stacked dipoles. Or if at the coast are they VHF marine band, maybe for ship/shore repeater?

Kev got it and Wendy knew that because she knew which one it was all along.
It's Ardnamurchan of course. The most westerly point of the British mainland.
Next one?

I'm impressed by the double knotting of the boot laces! :smile:

Just trainers but I can't help doing a double bow, it's second nature. If it was my boots, you might spot a triple twist before I lace up the cuff then back down a bit before the double knot. 😀

No, he doesn't know. But what is intriguing him is the safety rail mounted above the bannister..... :biggrin2:
Is it in a school?

It's the staircase from Lewis's shop in Manchester. I pinched it from a Manchester history site on Facebook, which I enjoy a lot. It rang an immediate bell with me as I remembered queuing up those stairs, for what seemed like an age, to see Father Christmas. That must have been around or before 1950. What a strange thing memory is.

They had large lifts too, which had an operator, who announced the contents of each floor as you arrived there. A bit like Grace Brothers. :smile:

I remember the lifts in Lewis's David, but not the staircase.
