Is this a new one?

No, it just reminded me of this.- in some ways it is better not in .gif form, but i couldn't find the series of stills.

It is an epic battle de nos jours.

Wet-Bob Excursion?

I've never noticed this before, but it's not a location that I go past very often.

Saying it was erected in 1953 could lead you astray, as the wall that it is fixed to wasn't there then.

 

[Noah]

The year of his birth is disputed by some who think it is "around 1594". I think I will cop out of guessing the location.

 

[Withnail]

Tercentenary of publication. D.o.b. disputed.

 

[Wormella]

That's on the police station - I once used it as an answer to a pub quiz question on a Stafford round that people who lived here all their lives found too hard.

Does that mean I need to find the next one?

It's either you or @Noah.....

That reminds me - where can I get the right coloured bit of sticky-back plastic, to cover the first E on the Cope Street signs?

Shame that the person "renovating" it ddn't have a roll of masking tape to hand

@Noah can have a go, I only realised he'd got there first having re read his post a few times

 

[Noah]

Izaak Waltons actual birthplace (I think)

 

[industryarch]

I believe its all an uban myth, a local historian once said, that's the sort of house Isaac Walton would have lived in.

Makes sense, it doesn't look terribly like an inn, even a 16th century one.

A gate left open today gave me the chance to picture this - and to restart this thread..?

It runs parallel to one of the town's major routes - just a few yards away from it.
