Very strange how some places seem to still have loads and other places very few
These two, 60 yards apart.
One other closeby but under roughcast, lots of roughcasted walls in the area.
I never looked at the database before heading, a day out for Mrs M so didn't want to spend too much time.
It did cost me the price of a bag for her, I'd said you shop and I'll spend 30 mins mooching.

I did see two en route. which will be caught next time I'm over Cowal way.

I've broken down local towns and villages and my town, has 55, most now gone. Next town which has 3x plus population has 177, nearest village(and immediate area) has 4,000 and has 57.No logic to it all.
The problem in the bigger towns is old tenements/ workplaces being demolished and newer housing etc being built in the outskirts or in our case up the hill. Lower Port Glasgow has been redeveloped in the last 30/40 years.
I find some 'older' villages happy hunting grounds.
I'm mostly catching stuff on spec now.
A lot have disappeared.

One thing, I've noticed is the difference in the cut marks, there seems to be no consistency in the cuts, I'd have thought that when surveying an area there would be one specific person doing the chisel work.

Its very strange and the i have noticed that the big posh old houses have very few markings yet loads on old terraced cottages etc etc

And agree re style of chisel work in same areas

Some local older villages which have not had much re development seem to be void as well

I have referred to your spreadsheets on a couple of occasions but mostly just look when i am cycling along

A few from Bradford City Centre
First plate, Town Hall, one of three.
Note the Cut Mark on the right. Slight difference in height.

May have a reason/explanation for the cut mark being at different height on the wall, compared to the plate. The plate shouldn't be there.

Both are were the yellow "arrow" is, top right of the picture. The plate was moved when renovation and alterations were carried out to the building, at the bottom of the picture, where the red "arrow" is. Two listed for the building, one at either location.

They look very intriging! Extra kudos to any AccyChat Trig Bagger who gets a photo from inside one.
Three near me. One is on an old airfield.
