Gail Adores Her

 

Looking forward to her first piccies in situ Folly Mon - don't try lifting her on your own - she may weigh even more than me!

We Have Talked Tonight Where She Should Go???
Ime Going to Have a Go at Another Brick or Stone Arch inside the Arbor with a floor light to light her up @ Night Wish Me Luck

 

There was 2 of these in the yard but 1 was all ready sold

The Other One I Even More She Was Even Taller Then the One I Had
BUT Was Sold to a Roman Catholic School Local to Us Here in the Black Country

Here is the One That Got Away

 

Found a Beautiful Pice o Stone to Build in to My Arbor ONLY A 60 Mile Jaunt

But You All Know wot I Am Like By Now and a Cast Iron Fire Grate to go in Ziggs Fire Place We Am Getting There Glad it Went Wrong Relay Gathering Some Lovely Bits so Hopefully this time I GET IT RIGHT

 

Love your constant enthusiasm Folly Mon. Please keep taking piccies - or, would you rather wait and show us it when completed?

Blimey, check the mortar underneath if there's any left, should be a Gold Sovereign in it

 

Well that's going to confuse the generations of the future Nick when it comes to dating the arbour.

 

Nice one Nickloving it

 

Just did a brief search for the builders in that plaque: Messrs Tilt & Weaver and found this snippet:

And then this snippet regarding the architect, John Cotton:

I may be wrong on those people, but, if I'm right, it adds a bit of information, a story and "realism" to your new plaque

 

Cool

 

How Cool is That!!! The Guy I Bought it Off Told me a Little About it that they was from Bromsgrove & Worcestershire Thank You So Much For that Info He Did Not Know Any More About it ie its origin or wot type of Building it came out of
Just Thought it Would Look Cool in the Arbor I Wish I Could Have Found it When I Built the Folly But Never too Mind I Think it will Look Nice When I Get it in

I Rang the Guy Today to Arrange Collection He Said Bring Some Extra Cash With Me Cus Said He Had Some other Pisces I Will Fall in love with But Will be taking Some Extra too See Wot He has Got

 

Take those extra sheckles, because I think you could do a roaring trade on here with some of the eye catching things you manage to get!
