Do you Know where this is?

[Tonji]

I just tried the photo on this new software i have. By turning it 45 degrees anticlockwise on a 15 degree longitudinal, you can see "Dave Smith" on his collar.

You must be using NASA satelitte technology.

Nope never seen that before, but it certainly looks an interesting building. Is it in Wales, it looks like it gots some form of agricultural use?

This is how it starts with all rulers. They brush it off to begin with. But soon you will be demanding a gold chair at BB3. All the heads of the Blonde forum will be at the top table. Elblondie, Ironside, Baron, Heid , Robert HM, Snoopy and Tikay.( I must have missed someone.... forgive me, it's late )


 Now Nemesis will be there with his crystal ball. Nobody will want to make eye contact in-case they anger him and are banished to the corn field ( an Outer Limits episode with a freaky Kid that can make people disappear. He banishes them for eternity into the Corn Field. In the end, there are only a handful of people left. They all live in fear of the Kid. ).


God I am a weirdo 


Kev and Red....Tightend....sorry

Latest Update: I've contacted The National Library of Guyana, to propose that they may wish to acquire this collection for there Photographic Collections. Waiting to hear back, but the normal response will be "would I like to donate the collection", but as a business this is not an option. I'll see what happens.

For those interested here's a photograph of one of the Plantation houses, its in the Demerara region of Guyana (nice place). I've not been able to find out alot more about the history of this, other than its probably a Sugar Plantation between 1890-1910. Alot further research could be done, but my times limited. Time to move on to the next project.

Tonji.

Yes it is in Wales, and yes we believe it was designed for agricultural use. I have searched the web far and wide to try and work out it's history but haven't found another one like it so we were wondering where the idea came from. Surely it's not the only one in the world.

Yip, Dewi, it is also called Ty-Rownd.

Surprising the things you can find out on a poker forum!!!

I thought oast house when I saw it - but I'm not sure if it's a bit small (although for a small brewery/hops producer it could do the job). Furnace on ground floor, hops on first floor to dry them for beer making.

Exactly where is it MojoRisin? That might help.

[MrMojoRisin]

It’s in the Swansea valley in South Wales. We think that it was designed to keep livestock in the outer parts of the building and feed inside ‘tower’. We think it was a cow shed or a place to house the horses working on the near by canal. There isn’t much recorded about this particular building as we’ve searched extensively but was just wondering if anyone had seen something similar. Some people think that the idea came from America but we haven’t found any building like it over there either. We were hoping if we could find a similar building we could trace who may have built it.
