Just a quick one whilst I should have been working today...

A boundary marker I've passed many times but not had the chance to grab it..
Gorleston, Near Gt Yarmouth.

A boundary marker I've passed many times but not had the chance to grab it..
Gorleston, Near Gt Yarmouth.

Isn't it good to see these old milestones and old signposts still in situ,
today's signage is so bland,
you can imagine the work that had gone in to creating the boundary post Pete shows above..
Designed, all the preparation of making the casting box, the molten iron then the cooling and filing down the edges..
taking it to its intended spot,
getting bedded in depending on what was needed..

Today, it is a metal press, I imagine the cut metal is screen printed,
out to the proposed site and a post (or two) concreted in and the sign then put in place..
there is no soul to the new signage...

And then only one is made!It's preserved, in situ, alongside a newish bypass road. I'm glad they chose to keep it. It'd be a shame to lose the local history since 1822

A couple from today's ride.

On a building, possibly an old closed pub, alongside the River Lea, in Hackney.

And WD benchmark on the North side, East buttress of Tower Bridge.

I love those old War Department markers.

 

[classic33]

A few from Leeds
Holy Trinity Church

Leeds Minster

And one where there were two similar ones.

 

[classic33]

Two from Marsh Lane, Leeds.

And a possible newer version on the same yard wall.

York Road, junction with un-named road.

Killingbeck Cemetary

Lower side of Seacroft Hospital main entrance

 

[classic33]

The crossing has long since gone.

Any ideas on the smaller circular stones. Just under 12" high, horizontal arrow pointing away from the bridge. One either side.
Bridge couldn't be raised, so the road was lowered, leaving elevated footpaths.
Irish Centre, York Road, Leeds

Best few hours for a long while, even though some have now gone in the last three years.

Random finds...
Polmont, for both.
The bolt at the church is a cracker..

Main Road

Who, if anyone, would be responsible for marks/plates (Royal property) going missing on Church of England(Royal property)?

Or am I overthinking things?

 

[Drago]

Each individual diocese? That's a big guess.

Parish Warden. At least in the States.

Parish Warden.

Each application for alterations has to be approved at a higher level, not locally.

But the marks and the buildings are both the property of the Queen.

See, that's the problem with lacking a Sovereign.
