A slightly mullahed find, in Holcot, this morning, next to a GPO post.

I am wondering if this would /could be the original site and brickwork for this V R box? Seen on my way out of Lymm today.

Any marks on the tops of the base stones either side indicating railings were there at one stage?

Generally replaced with one of the monarch of the time.

Nothing obvious.

Chances are it'll be the origional location. Everything else removed from round it.

That's what I thought.

Spied this old electricity cable marker as I sauntered to the post office at lunchtime.

Name the house just along from this benchmark?

Then this one just up from the Windsor castle public house

A few from yesterday’s ride..

A high up SV plaque in Brigstock.

And a flush bracket on the closed down pub, The Riverside, in Oundle.

As we stopped at the traffic lights in Oundle town centre, I spotted a well weathered BM on the corner of a building.

The final one I paused to photograph was on the Samuel Pepys pub in Slipton.

I did see a couple more, as we rode past, but will save them for another day!

 

[And]

Is graffiti allowed? this is on Cromford bridge. Folklore says that a horse managed to jump the river as it had failed to negotiate a bend in the road. It reads "the leap of b h mare June 1697"

It's right by the side of the road, adjacent to the inscription - ridden past many, many times but I've never seen it open

Only one this morning

On the cottage at the end of Whiston lane half way up the hill , been looking for this one a while not helped by being in the garden but found now .

Then this lump of rock as you enter Grendon from the Wollaston end no markings but it's been there for many a year
