Thanks Hugo! Not my pic though, grabbed it from Google images! I have been over the toll bridge (or as I call it the rickety rackety bridge) many times!

Helen is taking it nice and easy today!

[Hugo]

Whoever took the photo must have been enjoying a pint on the balcony of the pub just like I was yesterday.      Z**

That bridge was quite rickety and we were just walking over it!   I think that I'd put my foot down if I was driving over it just to get over as quickly as possible.      ^*^0

Glad to hear that Helen is taking it easy and please pass on our best wishes to her.

Great to hear that the op went well, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks everyone, Helen is doing well, she had the drain and bag removed yesterday! Mind you her list of jobs waiting to be done increases every day! (Only joking!  )

Which city is this?

[norman08]

Looks like York

[Yorkie]

Durham?  Yorkie's even wilder guess. 

Looks a bit like somewhere I know in Portugal at Castro Marim, the Castle which is famous for being associated with the Knights Templar.   
 

[hollins]

Well done Norman. It is York. The photo was taken from a very interesting building, now a hotel.
It was built in 1906 for NER (North Eastern Railways) as a "Palace of Business."
Here is a link about the history of it.

Where in N Wales will you see this object?     

[Hugo]

if you have checked the time you may want to visit this place which is very near by.       

[Jack]

Looks like the sundial at St Beuno's, Clynnog Fawr?

[Hugo]

You're spot on Jack, it is the Sundial at St Beuno's Church in Clynnog Fawr,   The other photo is of the well there.     


The sundial probably dates to the 10th or 11th century. It was for many years used as a footbridge across the Glan-Mor mill stream at Aberdesach. It was later used to support milk pails at Llyngele Farm. It was returned to Clynnog Fawr churchyard in 1930. The sundial face is eched with three lines, dividing a semicircle into four parts, the traditional method used in Saxon time to divide each 24 hour period into 8 equal parts, or tides.

   Where in North Wales would you find this carving, who is it and why is it situated there?
