I am introducing a post for your photographs with the theme - Seen Better Days

Nothing showing in Hyde Park or the next. :slightly_frowning_face:

I can see your photos d00d, the locked gate and the two tone roof tiles…… :slightly_smiling_face:

Google is good for storing photos but it can be unreliable when it comes to linking to photos for forum display.

These were steps from a canal towpath to the road. Seen better days so much that they have recently been replaced with a nice new set of steps.

Certainly has Seen Better Days
Must look a treat nowdays?

The pillars and stones were transported in 1817 from a Roman town in Libya called Leptis Magna. Now located at Virginia Water, Surrey (part of Windsor Great Park).

Fortunately 200 years later Burnam Burnam claimed Britain for the Aboriginal nation in 1988 by planting the Aboriginal flag on the White Cliffs and claiming Britain for the Aboriginal people. Afterwards he declared, “It’s too bloody cold here, let’s go home”.

Thus balance is restored.

These are just some of the bits and pieces that are in my ‘Handy but never used’ scrap box. They all come off items that I’ve made or taken to bits over the last 57 years. They just looked too useful to throw away. I might find something useful in there just occasionally but all the nuts, bolts and bits in this photo that were once so essential to something or other have seen better days…
