This one may be harder.

[Acrylic-bob]

All alone, it is all that is left.

What is it?

Where is it?

.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Hmmm. Harder than I first thought, especially without the picture.

 

[Ceejache]

Aint got a clue!

 

[JohnW]

Is this a gatepost which has had its twin removed and a wall built to fill in where the gate used to be?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Err, yes...but... my question was actually about the thing on top of the gatepost.

 

[Doug]

Is It the lower part of a "Gas Lamp?"

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Getting closer. Yes, I believe it is. But where oh where is it?

 

[janet]

Could it be at the entrance gate of a well to do house ?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Sorry, it's not a house.

 

[Doug]

It's a park is it. Manchester Road?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

No, not a park in the conventional trees and swings sense.

 

[Doug]

This is Accy is it. Bob

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Oh yes! Indeed. The dog and I were there today and we were definately in Accrington. We wanted to go to Blackburn, but it was too hot and so we decided not to. So we stayed in Accrington instead.

 

[Doug]

That's not a clue is it bob. Is it up ossy.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

No it's not a clue, I mean my real, physical, dog. A terrier called Bif.

 

[Doug]

I didn't mean that!

Church?

 

[lettie]

If it's not a park in the conventional sense, is it a playing field entrance???

 

[Atarah]

My "gut" feeling tells me to say ... ARDEN HALL.

 

[Beermonster]

It's where the old Church used to be on Oak Steet. This is accross from The Job Centre.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Hooray! Give that Beermonster a coconut.

It is cast iron lamp standard, the only remaining peice of the Congregational Church on Oak Street. quite why this bit was left is anyones guess, but there it is.
