Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: Red Squirrel on June 23, 2020, 09:09:50 Is Finn standing on some sort of vaulted structure?
Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: bradshaw on June 23, 2020, 13:37:55 There seems to be an information plaque between the structure and the road; English Heritage location perhaps?
Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: eightonedee on June 23, 2020, 13:52:07 Ok let's jump in with a wild guess (but with doubts as I would have expected some surrounding buildings in the background)
Glastonbury Abbey? Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: PhilWakely on June 23, 2020, 16:17:57 I won't answer having posted on your Facebook offering ;)
Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: JayMac on June 23, 2020, 16:28:38 Is Finn standing on some sort of vaulted structure? He's on an exterior wall, ruined. There seems to be an information plaque between the structure and the road; English Heritage location perhaps? We're getting warmer. Ok let's jump in with a wild guess (but with doubts as I would have expected some surrounding buildings in the background) Glastonbury Abbey? Sorry no. Don't forget, there is a railway link to this building. Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: Red Squirrel on June 23, 2020, 16:35:03 5029?
Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: TonyN on June 23, 2020, 17:05:02 Finn you are a naughty dog. On the English heritage website it says "Do not climb on the walls".
Title: Re: Where were Finn and I today? Post by: JayMac on June 23, 2020, 17:29:33 5029? I think that's a succinct answer to both the location and railway link. Yes, Finn and I were at Nunney Castle (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunney_Castle). It's a lovely location for an evening stroll. It'll be even better when the nearby pub reopens! GWR 5029 Nunney Castle (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_4073_Class_5029_Nunney_Castle) was the last locomotive to leave Dai Woodham's Barry scrapyard by rail, in May 1976, after being purchased by a consortium including the Great Western Society. Finn you are a naughty dog. On the English heritage website it says "Do not climb on the walls". There are signs at the castle too. Sadly, Finn isn't progressing as well as I'd like with his reading skills.

He’s normally such a well behaved dog. He also does a very good job of hoovering my office!
