Is that the barn that was at the top of Southern's Fold, it belonged to the farm at the front of The Collier's.
Pt. Frazer "Did ye ever hearrr the story of the ould barrrrn ?"
Capt. Mainwaring. "No!"
Pt Frazer. " Aye .... Therrre was nothin' in it!"
Accompanied with lots of eye rolling to Capt. Mainwaring's disgust!
Hope you don't mind Andrew.
Andrew.
Veronica tells of a particular scene from the Dad's Army episode Gorilla Warfare, which along with the scene that shows Warden Hodges getting covered by yellow dye ('also in Gorilla warfare'), were two of my late mother's favourite scenes. Thanks.
I am wondering about that “Notice” Andrew. “No Speeding”?
Yes I've been watching 'Dad's Army' recently too!
This is a rather crude panoramic picture - not properly stitched together (I never dreamt that that technology would exist when I took the two photos), but it does represent the buildings fairly accurately.
The smaller line on the notice says (I think) 'By Order'. It's not fully sharp even on the original transparency. No idea of the story behind it!
