@GraemePeacock1 Apparently the Percy Lion on Northumberland House was once turned so that its bottom pointed at Carlton House and the Prince Regent following an argument. And then turned back again when he became King George IV.

@OrdnanceSurvey Just outside Stroud?

@keithjones84 The spiky one at the end was built by Dr Drysdale, my gt-gt grandfather. Lovely to see that it’s still there!

@Liverpool1207 And an amazing ‘Greek Thomson’ style building next door too

@ikeijeh @WalkerMarcus In fairness, the last time the National Gallery extended itself it bent over backwards to acknowledge its classical heritage.

@TfL West Acton - those lovely curved wooden benches

[Hugo Brown @phugobrown1]

@CapelLofft My late father, a Devonian, would sometimes refer to the county as Devonshire. Mind you, he would still refer to Oxfordshire south of the Thames as Berkshire so 🤷

@sturgios Have inherited exactly the same - hard agree (probably from David Mellor).

@archi_tradition Bibury. Dank and full of day trippers. Hard avoid.

@WalkerMarcus @Rgt71Robert That sounds very like the Courtauld Institute in the 1990’s to me….. (admittedly then a very small part of London University)

@LBFlyawayhome Love the enticing display of Shippam’s Fish Paste!

[Hugo Brown @phugobrown1]

@Adrian_Hilton Likewise. And loudly in my case!

[Hugo Brown @phugobrown1]

@CathyRLowe Probably disapproves of that wiring!

@ploonanny Thank you - I think it must be - it’s definitely a track recording vehicle (living alongside. some other ‘normal’ old Central Line trains)!

[Hugo Brown @phugobrown1]

@ploonanny Yes because they have one at Ruislip depot (as viewed from Chiltern Line) which I have been trying and failing to identify! Now I know….

@fugitiveink @guywalters An illegitimate child in my tiny Oxfordshire village no less. ‘Absolute Rubbish’ according to those villagers who were alive at the time.
