So having recently returned to full time employment, I find myself spending half the day driving around this green and pleasant land... well a large portion of the civilised, inhabitable areas anyway!

I often see things and think, "That's interesting, I wonder what that is?" Or thoughts to that effect. So I have decided to carry a camera with me, take a pic and stick it on here and see if any of you folks recognise where it is / what it is etc.

Without further ado...

Today's first mystery pic is in Gloucestershire, [apparently] visible from the M5, between J13 & J14, although this pic was taken from the nearest village. It is a monument, built in 1863...

And this rather grand old fire station is in a historic city on the A4...

I was going to say Bath too.  Failing that, Reading?  A lot of buildings in Reading are made from Bath stone

Actually, that doesn't look like Reading's fire station.

Well what a dull, damp, dreary day! This was the nearest thing to interesting that I encountered today...



Nothing special I guess, you see little churches all over but it did get me wondering just what a 'Congrgational' church is? As for where it is... well today's travels took me to Northampton, Milton Keynes and Winslow. The panel in the middle tells us it is The Selbie Memorial Congregational Church... sooo David, which congregation worships in church like this?

I did also see as nice a collection of thatched cottages in one village that I had ever seen, in Botolph Claydon... but unfortunately I was in 'let's get home, it's Friday afternoon' mode and couldn't be bothered to stop!

Another week, another traffic jam... today's solitary destination was about 70 miles from home (just west of Oxford) and sounds like it could have been in Plymouth. In fact it took me 3 hours to get there, I could have gotten to Plymouth quicker!!! So, there's two clues.

For two extra points and just to get you in the right town, here's a couple of pics of some old clocks... if you can't identify them, get young Mr Kendall to have a look, I'm sure he'll reconise them instantly.

looks like London.  Is it St Pancras and King Cross?

edit: doh - just noticed that wasn't the question!

Damn. I'm at Feltham, & the Pics will not load on blonde Forum, for some reason, so I can't see anything!
