A new faceplate that has been partially covered by a brick wall

Must have passed this one thousands of times in the last 30-odd years; it's only ~150m from my house.
South wall of Park House Medical Centre, Burton Road, Carlton.
As with so many walls round these parts, it's Bulwell sandstone, prone to weathering.
First photo taken from across the road - one elderly driver was so nosey watching me that he almost rear-ended a car stopped at the lights!

Looking good team. Can we make 200 pages of exploration by the end of the year?

Yesterday's visit to Grafton Underwood was quite productive.
The WW2 USAF airfield still has some infrastructure to explore.

It's over there!

With a bit of zoom. Too muddy, at the moment, to get any closer.

^^ Looks like my saddle is a tiny bit on the wonk!! ^^

Inside

Possibly a bomb enclosure?

@PeteXXX i spotted that a while back did you get all the benchmarks and faceplates in the Village ?
It's a very fascinating area for sure , i didn't go in the shelter as it was pitch black and didn't fancy groping around in the dark

I posted the FB quite a while ago, but grabbed the BM on St James Church t'other day as well.

I'm not sure it there's others in the village.

Benchmark on St Mary's Church, Willen, Milton Keynes. A nice ride out and back.

Found this Monday, saw it and thought 'mmm, haven't seen that before'
Bishopton (or as they now call the immediate area Dargavel Village)
Commemoration of a once massive munitions factory...
Dargavel was the old estate the factory was and its environs was built on..

Was that cannon used in the Battle of Canton?

Was that cannon used in the Battle of Canton?

I dunno...
I assume it has to be a replica...
I never checked the significance of the numbers...
I will now, ta!

Edit to add; apparently it was done to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ending of the Great War according to the company developing the area, the plaque says different.
Further research needed..

I was only going by the date, 1841.
