@caitlinrgreen all this is vintage things built and then abandoned just like graves built and abandoned :(
@Umarkarim89 Absolutely---makes me think of the towns of Britain after the Romans left & the Old English poem The Ruin....
@caitlinrgreen whose poem is this?? from this i remember that Philip Larkin poem 1914 from ww1 period with British streets deserted
@Umarkarim89 It's an Anglo-Saxon poem :) https://archive.org/stream/anglosaxonnorsep00chadrich#page/55/mode/1up …
@Umarkarim89 Written about the ruins of the Roman town of Bath by a later Anglo-Saxon visitor...
@caitlinrgreen i wish i can meet that visitor :)
@Umarkarim89 It's a wonderful poem from over a thousand tears ago---also inspired Tolkien! :)
@caitlinrgreen i will write a poem on all this....the theme will be every thing that was once great and now only a name on sand alas!
@caitlinrgreen @jackconnor89 At nearby Ludford, there are still Thor ICBM launch pads but whole site is locked and CCTV monitored.
@MatthewPWoods @jackconnor89 ooh, must look into that...! :)
@caitlinrgreen @jackconnor89 It's like finding a castle ruin with a trebuchet in the middle! (50s version)
@MatthewPWoods @jackconnor89 nice analogy! Def need to find out more, lol! :)
@caitlinrgreen wonderful and other-worldly. I was born in Lincolnshire in the 60s and Stenigot is an evocative name for me.
@simon432 Ah, a Yellowbelly! :) It's a great bit of the Wolds!
@caitlinrgreen it is! My rellies still live in Binbrook and Wold Newton. I was born in Cleethorpes a stone's throw from the seafront.
@simon432 Wonderful part of the world and some great archaeology in that area! ;)
Oh, nice pic! :)
