I see you have posted a pic of the cemetery chapel just off Bolingbroke Grove if I'm not mistaken. Is that your local area? I used to live just off Nightingale Lane in the mid seventies, just about the time you were doing your punk thing in Accy! Worked for a housing association in Balham and we had lots of properties in the Battersea/Wandsworth area.

It's not a cat, I thought it was a pine martin but the claws look too small? Nor is it a ferret or polecat as the legs are too long? Not sure Sue?

That's right Sue you are so right - good memory. It's not my local area really but I know it as I used to work down there. Did you used to drink in the Nightingale? :D

Oh yes it was my local - I lived near the Clapham Common end of Endlesham Road and the pub was on the next corner. Happy Days!

Had to check up on that photo on Google images but I noticed you had put Wandsworth in the title!

Yes I'd looked at pine marten/ferret/polecat and come to the same conclusions. So a mystery beast then!

Sorry didn't see your post on this subject till just now. While I was looking for an answer I came across this lovely beast which looks like two different animals stuck together!

Some more windows and doors today and a few pics which while loosely related to the theme were prompted by a BBC news article.

1 Beamish brewery, Cork
2 Christian Brothers school for poor children, Sullivan's Quay on the River Lee, Cork
3 Georgian window, Cork
4 Windows and doors, old warehouse, Liverpool
5 I was prompted to include the next shots by a BBC news article about the research station at Ny Alesund, Spitsbergen, Norway. I have posed some shots from here previously on this thread.
BBC News - So remote, it could pass for Mars
We stopped there while on a cruise in July 2010. This photo show Richard posing with a copy of our local mag which was running a holiday photos competition where you had to have a copy of the mag in the photo and prove where you had been. He was on the landing stage outside this building with the details on. We didn't win!
6 These are the lions outside the door of the Chinese building, as mentioned in the BBC article
7 The North Pole hotel
8 Windows, doors and steps - the Polar Research Institute
9 Nothing but windows - but not sure there's anything growing in there!

Today in Pictures, at 100 miles an hour.

1. A brown Hawker Dragonfly.
2. You don't think they will be so dominant until they are up, this is from the canal just short of Riley's Swing Bridge.
3. Thistle seeds now old enough to leave home, and set up a family of their own.
4. A Marmalade Hoverfly, on a Field Bindweed.
5. Common Darter Dragonflies in the process of mating and laying eggs, this was a difficult shot due to their speed, check out the wings, almost invisible.
6. From the junction at Church, just short of the Dunkenhalgh Way. There was something a bit out of sync here. A gridlocked junction and the installation of wind turbines !
7. This is the caterpillar of the Lime Hawk Moth.

You can say what you like about this thread, but you learn some stuff, get taken around the world, and get to see whats right under your nose. This is Dave Mac for News at Ten handing you back to the studio.

This particular jam was down to the gas main renewal, but the junction is always a pain.

If you mean the brewery, it's mock Tudor not real Tudor and was built in 1895. It's a protected structure, equivalent in Ireland of a listed building.

Think they are all of the same period, it's just the design. Brewery sadly closed in 2009, don't know the current state of play but probably sold for residential development.
