Berlin wall?

[bobins]

'fraid not. Perhaps I should give a better clue - it was in the UK

[NewcastleFalcon]

10 points if you can work out where these came from. The only clues you get are that they were all from the same structure, and it was last standing 31 years ago

The waterfront may stand a chance, but only 10 points to get a 31 year old demolition from a couple of bits of plaster/concrete a bit of metal tube and a red light anywhere on planet earth, thats almost as impossible as my whatsthisthen car under the tarpaulin.

I reckon its worth at least 1000 points if anyone manages to get that. Were there red lights on the Berlin Wall?

Coincidence of replies I see the Berlin Wall has been guessed and rejected

Not a clue, pure guess because the timing seemed about right!!

[bobins]

That's not a metal tube, that's a solid copper rung....... one of many used to get to the red light which was mounted on top of the concrete. Although I admit, 10 points is a little mean, with the clues that I keep on giving I can't offer you 1000 points. Maybe I'll settle for 950 points

I hadnt seen your guess Mick when I was posting, you beat me to it!

Brighton Southwick B power station chimney?

[bobins]

I have to admit, Mick - I'm extremely impressed....... mainly because you got there before Neil*

Immediately after the eastern chimney was blown up, me and a couple of mates made our way to the demolition site and scrambled onto the rubble before the dust had settled. I managed to grab 2 lights, the rung and some concrete.... I think they left empty handed Unfortunately, one of the lights was broken, but I've still got it. The one I've got in the picture has a slight chip on the glass but is otherwise good.




* Mick - Out of interest, have you and Neil ever been seen in the same room together ?

[NewcastleFalcon]

New way of increasing participation on the forum....clone yourself!

Regards Neil

[NewcastleFalcon]

I am impressed too, and would like to follow Micks Process of deduction.. I was going to go for a 20 questions approach to narrow it down.

Here's a waterfront to get you thinking:

The seafront at Bognor Regis ?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Here's a waterfront to get you thinking:

and that is Seattle Waterfront if I am not mistaken!

For what its worth, after my blind stab in the dark with the Berlin wall, I looked closer at the rung and remembered stepping on it (one like it!) as I climbed the tower to install a di-pole aerial in Battersea. I started with Didcot and DDG'd my way to Brighton!! SHimples

And as far as I am aware we havn't been in the same room together..............yet!!

If I drive up to the polar regions I'll see if we can't join Steve in the Pickled Egg at some point!!(and anyone else who'd like to join in of course!)
