That's an early cast post box , don't see many of those .

 

Not quite the oldest in the country, but getting close. Early Victorian, I think.

 

Where is it ? your neck of the woods ....being a bit boffiny here, but think the old ones had a makers casting mark at the bottom .

 

Meyrick Rd, Bournemouth.

Going for my 0ne-a-day in a mo, might look for maker's mark.

 

" Bournemouth: hexagonal Victorian postbox
This fine example of the 'Penfold' design is on the corner of Meyrick and Grove Roads, and is Bournemouth's smallest listed building."

Make sure your trousers are 4" too short for that full anorak-effect...

Made in Doodlay, yow, so not Derby.

 

That cat looks really peed off...

 

Is his/her's name "Well 'ard?"

 

Yorkshire pyramid.

 

Nah she’s just funny looking...

Will have to look them up.. Handysides were in full swing by 1885 making an astonishing amount of products urns fountains very ornate ...even rail bridges ( iron ) and had teams of workers to build them even as far as Australia i believe . Must dash i am off to restore a Greens of Leeds 2ft by 18 inch garden roller .

 

I saw one of these a few years back and thought they were marvelous, i have managed to track a few down now , they are innocent fun in my book , no offence intended to anyone .

 

Or the one before the one above , a view over to Emly Moor TV mast from Wakefield

 

Tooot en kar mooon ey ?

 

Picture looking out from my cousins place , now up in the mountains in Switzerland . He said high up away from the sickies!

 

She is the soppiest neediest and most affectionate little cat who approaches any stranger and meows at them for attention.

But if any other cat comes snooping around she’s like a heat seeking Tasmanian Devil (Looney Toons cartoon?) that never ever backs down and comes away with just a few tufts of fur left behind.
