MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Big Kev]

Filling the holes in Lockfield Drive after the gas main repairs.

[Stanley]

Clicked out separately from another piece of leather. Hole filling sounds good to me....

[David Whipp]

Hoping for rather more inventive answers... it could have been open cast treacle mining... however, Kev in on the button; the new gas pipe was threaded through the old metal main on Friday and new services connected to houses.

What about this one?

[Tizer]

Looks like it's hinged at one end and snaps shut...is it part of Thora Hird's suspender belt?

[plaques]

is it part of Thora Hird's suspender belt?

I'll have to have a look into that!

[Marilyn]

Travel clock?

[Stanley]

Long life milk chocolate.....

[David Whipp]

Wonder if Plaques has examined this closely?

[plaques]

Wonder if Plaques has examined this closely?

Actually I thought it was one of these but didn't want to give the game away. What else could you be thinking from my reply.??

[Tizer]

I should have recognised what it was after having put a plastic version on this thread a while ago!

[David Whipp]

Thought you'd given a cryptic correct answer Plaques. Top marks!

[Stanley]

Here's an oldie....

[David Whipp]

Shutter of some sort?

[PanBiker]

Two stage peepholes but for what? Furnace inspection maybe but look too elaborate.

[Stanley]

Ian is almost there. A lot closer to home......

[Stanley]

Nobody will be racking their brains over this one because of Xmas. It's a very early version of the peephole in the door that you see today.
Next for shaving when you are recovered?

[Stanley]

I can visualise you all slumped in your armchairs..... Waken up and have a crack at this one....

[Gloria]

The west side entrance to the Treacle Mine.

[David Whipp]

No, East.

Wasn't this used for smuggling during the 18th century?

[Marilyn]

Someone's coal 'ole?
( though it has a seat?)
Coal 'ole-cum-thunder box?

[Tizer]

Door blocking the tunnel from Barlick to Clitheroe Castle through which the Crown Jewels were secretly transported in WW2 for safe storage until the end of hostilities?

[Stanley]

It's a hard one I know but let's push it a bit further. Look at the construction and the way it is funnelling down to a smaller aperture behind the boarding and note the cast iron arched girder supporting the arch....

[Gloria]

Going down to some type of mine??

[David Whipp]

Lime kiln?

[Tizer]

Looking down a well? With a timber platform in place to allow maintenance work on the stone lining?
