In the park.

Nice old sundial, spoiled by the stupid tv cable draped across it - I could have shopped it out, but I prefer to see 'real' pictures.













Autumn leaves on a cobble star.






















Mysterious green doors. Probably the door on the left was a stable and above it was the feed store. I imagine they would have had a hoist to take grain and hay up there at one time. It is part of a very old building originally built around 1650, but I think this part of the building is much later, a Georgian addition.

International timepiece.































Now here's something I bet you don't see everyday! Shows times (pretty approximate I would guess) at various places round the world. Amazing. Made in 1841. Anyone know where Fort Nelson is (or was)?
