What a delightful thread Ian and lovely photos. My favourite road sign when we toured Yorkshire many years ago was Muker via Buttertubs. The roundabout reminds me of one just south of Rouen where there are five life sized cows. - 10 April 2012 20:25164673Thank you Carole.
Where are you Jeane? I was depending on you
Ok I'll have to go it alone.
Lots of useless information you all wanted to know, I bet your buzzing.
King William Of Orange iii.
This statue was erected in 1734 and the artist Peter Scheemakers was reported to have committed suicide after the statue was cast due to the fact he forgot to add the stirrups. True or false I don't know.
Did you know King William is famous for introducing something to Britain we all still use. ( not all of us, yuk )
Mothers Ruin, Gin. It originated from Holland.
