I must have ridden past that a few times, too!

First house on the right as you come into Tattenhall End from Gayhurst.

That's not far from me, although the road from here is closed for 2 weeks while the workmen sit about smoking and reading the Mirror.

Well the road closed signs are up but you can get through on a bike with ease
No workers this morning when i went along the high street .

A few bits from today's stroll around Ramsgate.

A cut mark hidden behind the Postbox on Ramsgate (closed) post office.

And, on the end of Ramsgate harbour wall, Eastern arm, the site of a WW2 gun emplacement, and traversing rail, that was protecting the inner harbour and the fleet of MTB's within. (that's Motor Torpedo Boats, not bikes!)

 

[PeteXXX]

A few more around Ramsgate..

A plaque commemorating the MTB's and other small craft.

A weathered cut mark on the Sailor's Church, Marine Parade.

Not a name kids could be called nowadays!!

A single soldier metal guard box(?) on the harbour side, with a just visible cut mark, bottom left of pic.

 

[PeteXXX]

A Bolt on Margate harbour wall, landward end, on yesterday's stroll.

Another bolt, this one at the end of Margate Harbour wall.

A short, squat, Victoria postbox on Margate High Street, as opposed to the tall thin one on Southend pier posted last week!

And a cut mark on St. Peter's railway bridge.

1. I've always understood it to be a toll-house, for the very busy Wakefield & Barnsley road
Plus, the petrol station just to the north (other side of crossroads) is the TurnPike Garage

Wednesday 12th
I quite forgot, until I drove back along there today, that it's 'officially' known as TurnPike CrossRoads, as shown by the road-signs

 

[PeteXXX]

A ninja postbox 📮!

. A well defined cut mark on the lol Nat West Bank, now Pizza Express.

And, exactly opposite the house I owned 35 years ago, and visible from my bedroom window, a cut mark on Thompsons repository, Cannon Road!
I never knew about such things back then, or the entrance to loads of tunnels under the town from the car park next door..

Finally, can I put a pic of a Rudge bike up? Well, I've done it anyway 👍🏼

 

[PeteXXX]

I almost forgot.. This old utility plaque is on the flint walls of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin's house. He helped design the Palace of Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I didn't take this today, but I did drive past it at about 13:00
I was even stationary at it, due to parked vehicles/oncoming traffic
(circuitous route from Barnsley, to wifes office)

(this is an April '18 image)
