It is a real memory lane today - this one from 2011 is the best [only] one that I can find that shows the defensive ditch around Stokesay castle. It is a fortified manor with a huge barn attached. I guess in times of peril everything from the surrounding district got brought inside and they shut the doors.  BV9R0021.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Both a man made physical boundary and a recently crossed boundary.  Hadrian's Wall IMG_3857editBW by Keith Hudson, on Flickr Syca (no) more gap, Hadrian's Wall. Site of the famous tree felled 28th September 2023. The stump remains protected by a fence in the hope that new growth will appear. |

Apparently there are signs of growth from the seeds taken from the site. |

The boundary wall in Piccadilly Gardens Manchester, separating the "gardens" from the bus station. An eyesore which I think might actually have been removed now.  Pigeon at the wall by Nigel G, on Flickr |

Personal? Certainly no room for passengers. A member of Bromley canoe club on the Tavy, December 2021. Harford Bridge to Tavistock the hard way.  DSCF6544.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

The only shot of one of these in motion that I have got. However, I have seen a modern one ridden, I stepped aside on a shared cycle/footpath down the out-of-town retail park to allow one pass - it was not full size. I also saw (circa 2019, say) on two occasions a unicyclist, wheel size about the same as the scaled down penny-farthing (maybe 36 - 40") on a shared space cycle-route that is about an 18 mile ride if you do the whole thing.  274A0315.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

They used to be all the rage. We had one of these, over 40 years ago now.  274A0327.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
