@HIGH PIT WILMA - just for fun I thought I would check how much walking you were doing. I am always playing with Google Street View getting the distance from A to B along a road. I have seen other Apps/Tools etc that walkers use when they go off through the countryside but didn't think you could use Google Street View for checking 'Off The Road' distances. After a bit of clarting I see you can work out the Off the road distances and the distance from Dene Park car park, along the Black Path, to the exit at the top of Beatty Road is approx 1.17Km = 3,830.58 ft = 0.7254886364 miles. And using other options from the menu(s) that pop up in the white boxes you can get different tracking methods All the people with up to date mobiles will already know about this method of planning a route but with my old 1G Samsung = big keys for sending texts - I don't have any access to any Apps

I think @Canny lass has blown toooo hard on the candles - there must have been one, or two that wouldn't go out😇

@Canny lass - Happy New Year from Trotter - The dog ---------------- and Wilf

Champion😇 All the best for 2021 to every member of this group.🌝

I did 🙂 - and ended up playing Mondays 🏌️‍♂️ - Wednesdays🏌️‍♂️ & Fridays🏌️‍♂️ - stayed at home over the weekend to drink more beer🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍺.

All the best Bill. When Boris's merry men announce the new restrictions this afternoon I reckon we will be Tier 4 - but we could be Tier 5😷. But by mid spring, 2021, we 70+ age group should be Oxford/AstraZeneca'd 🙂

@r21ewwq - I don't know the year the estate was built but there is some info in the book(s) that Evan Martin had published. A map from 1920-21, published in 1924, does not show the estate, just The Palace theatre. The first map, I can find, that shows the estate is from 1938 - published in 1947. The estate was built on The Palace Fields, next to The Palace Theater. I don't know the year the estate was built but there is some info in the book(s) that Evan Martin had published. The First photo of the Kinks Road houses is from the 1930’s in an Evan Martin book. Again from one of Evan Martin's books - The Palace Theater A compilation of the changes to The Palace Theater

Actually I have no idea what so ever what this stool could be used for - never seen anything like it. Looks like a 'sitty-down' pogo seat that you strap yourself into😃.

I think I was wearing a leather outfit, with mask, the last time I sat on one of those☺️☺️ This one proves it ( I have ignored the ones on the www with 4☺️☺️)
