The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

[Richard A Thackeray]

Slightly worrying..
We have the keys for one of the 20+ Grade 1 listed buildings in Wakefield, in our possession at the moment

I have to go in, this morning, collect something, & take the keys back
(wife signed for them, I have to sign them back in, but they know it'll be me returning them)
Obviously, a camera will be coming with me

The medieval arches are visible here
See final 2 images

I've been in the Crypt before, but wanted to go up the tower
I wasn't moving the step-ladder though

It's a very narrow stairs, not much over shoulder width

Me and mrs 73 had a day out in Chester came across these. Anyone ever heard of them?

The other a nice Victorian post box still in use

Sunday 19th

Called, on the way to work
The building's been in 'our' possession for as long as I've known
I first knew it as the Nurses Home, where student nurses could live, who were training away from home

Nowadays, it's a mixture of offices, & on-call rooms for Doctors (some who are actually on-call, & for Locums, who may have come a long way for a couple of shifts)
Upstairs houses all of the paintings, & the model railway, that were at Clayton Hospital, if any readers know that building?

Not the best of images, as they were taken with my iPhone

Not the Lion Of Flanders, but merely the Lion Of Pinders

Interesting little metal discs, approximately 1" in diameter, hammered into the stonework, in Moulton village. It's on No. 17, so it's not the house number.

Another local BM, on Wellingborough Road, Hamtun. Not sure if the brickie or chiselled fell out, but the top bar is several bricks & courses away 🤔

 

[Drago]

Interesting, those discs are of the type found on old telegraph poles and used as date codes.

There is a pole within a few yards, but why not hammer them into that..

 

[tom73]

Other option street light number thats long gone maybe ?

 

[PeteXXX]

Possibly.. I don't know if they actually have lighting in this part of the village,though.

 

[tom73]

Had another look I like @Drago idea they really do look like telegraph pole numbers.

 

[PeteXXX]

Next time I ride past, I'll get a photo from further away. Maybe that'll help.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Look like date nails we used to nail into old wooden railroad ties so we knew when a stretch of track had been updated.

Trig point on Kitt Hill, near Callington, Cornwall.
Would not be a problem to bag this one on a bike if you were that way (apart from having to grind up a looooong hill), but today it was a dog-in-the-Merc-and-walk day...
