MrWolf Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 There's some L&NWR boundary posts by the canal near where we live, they're a quarter of a mile from the railway line though, it's reminded me to get a photograph. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The L&NWR Society is starting a project to catalogue all surviving LNWR artefacts, so they should welcome any information, including location data.

MrWolf Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'll get a photo and I'll pass on the location for the society, the exact details I'll record on the picture GPS. Thanks for the tip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastglosmog Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 A riverside bollard just upstream of the (now disused) Llanthony Lock on the River Severn (East Channel). A small thing a few yards from the GWR Gloucester Dock branch bridge over the east channel. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted October 2, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have replaced my photos up to about the end of October 2021. However, I now realise that I had got lazy and not sorted and renamed them before posting so I am having great difficulty finding the later ones. I'll try to find some of them over the coming weeks, though I suspect that I didn't save the Google Street View images after I had posted them. And thanks to several others who have also replaced their photos. Jonathan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Tollhouse on the outskirts of Great Missenden. It wouldn't take much to convert the Wills Crossing-Keepers Cottage to a reasonable facsimile of this. A quarter of a mile-ish beyond the tollhouse in the Wendover direction, this flower tub outside the Black Horse pub looks to have begun life as a blacksmith-built cattle or horse trough. The low sun made photographing it difficult but it is very solidly made. A good project for anyone who's got a recently-acquired rivet-punch they want to get used to using! This old iron gate is in very good condition. Measures approx 4'x10'. I soldered up a simplified version of something like this from scrap etch a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised at just how easy it was. I'll try turning something like this up in the drill for the post of the next gate I build. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastglosmog Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Some little details for a model of a pre-16th Century church - graffiti on the door jamb. Would be considered vandalism today, but was apparently common practice in Medieval times. These were seen on St Mary's church, Ampney St Mary, but they can be found on many old churches that have not had the stonework heavily restored. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Apparently, whilst some were Masons marks, most are not and the ones illustrated are unlikely to be. Their precise purpose is not known with certainty and there were probably many different reasons for them - see Medieval Graffiti by M. Champion for a discussion of the many different types and possible meanings. (I bought a copy of this book on a visit to Hales Abbey a year ago and now look out for them when ever I visit an old church.) 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case it is an original, I won't make any souvenir hunters life easy by identifying its location, other than to say it's nearer the Severn than the canal. The latest edition of "Navvies" (the Waterway Recovery Group magazine) has a mention of a mile post being put back on the Montgomery Canal, it having been restored by volunteers. I wonder if the above sign has benefited in the same way. Adrian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
