 The Key In The Pavement

On London’s Marchmont Street there are a number of odd objects embedded in concrete paving stones, including a pineapple, a fish and this key. In 2007 an artist created them to symbolise the tokens left behind by impoverished mothers who needed to identify their babies. The children were left in the Foundling Hospital at Coram Fields, to await collection when their mothers were better-off.

Now here's a very difficult and an obscure one too.          $walesflag$

It's not exactly the Via Ferrata but it is an aid in walking but where exactly is it in N Wales?

Nice start Yorkie but it's not in the Three Towns.

Is it the footpath by the river in the Aberglaslyn Pass (Fisherman's path?) ?

Well done ME it is on the Fisherman's Path in Aberglaslyn,   It must have been put in recently because I've not noticed it before when I've done the walk.     &well&

You were in the right area Jack but ME was spot on with the location.

It's been hard work Googling this one Yorkie.      ;D

The Tower House at 29 Melbury Road (originally 9 Melbury Road) is a large late Victorian townhouse in the Holland Park district of Kensington and Chelsea. It was built between 1875 and 1881 in the French gothic revival style by the architect and designer William Burges for himself. It has been a Grade I listed building since 1949

You got it right, but missed some of the latest information which I was hoping for!   &well&

Known as the Led Zepplin Tower.
It’s hard to believe this tower is in central London, but it’s at 29 Melbury Road, Kensington, and looks like something from a horror film. It’s supposed to contain an astrology hall, reflecting the interests of its owner, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, and surreal filmmaker Kenneth Anger once lived in its basement. Fans make pilgrimages there, which must be annoying when Page is looking out of the window doing the washing up. No lift, but there’s a stairway to heaven.
