Really enjoyed your Norwich show ❤️ You mentioned ghost signs and ghosts so I thought this map of the weird and wonderful might be of interest untamed.earth (it's my labour of love)
If you zoom in to the top of the picture of Olie, you can see a spooky lady! 🔍
A plain map showing Pluckley and surrounding area. There are 12 pins, each representing a distinct 'haunting' story.
For reference :)
_had_ to find it for my own records 😉 maps.app.goo.gl/WoFDTVjpb43u...
Denied. Evil Knievel is already wordplay. If I remember correctly, he got the moniker to chime with his one time cellmate Awful Kernoffel #nojoke
I was hedging my bets based on museum labels (I didn't want to state they were older and it be misleading) ,😁
A side aspect of the grave of Thomas Stoneham and Ann Balls. A semi-circular metal grill runs from headstone to footstone. The footstone echos the initials and burial dates “T - S 1840 A - B 1838”
The headstone of Thomas Stoneham and Ann Balls. Beyond the date of the burials (1840 and 1838) no other details are given.
A mortsafe at Aylsham, Norfolk. Protecting Thomas Stoneham and Ann Balls. The safes were generally moved from grave to grave and, as far as I know, this is the only intact one in Norfolk. The burials are at the end of the ‘grave-robbing era’ which may explain why this mortsafe came to rest here.
Sorry, I got confused between Addingham village and Addingham parish!
Hey Kevin, I'm not seeing a St Michaels in Addingham. Double checking as I thought there was a hogsback at St Michaels near Lowther
Feels like 'dapper' is missing it's poster child 👌
Love the idea 👍👍
What's in your back yard?
Isn't that the chap who helps baby Yoda? 😁
Looks almost organic 🤩
A basalt costal cliff in Iceland. The columns start at the beach and rise in rough steps to form a hillside.
Looking up at columns from the mouth of a small sea-cave. Both the long faces of the outer columns are visible as well as the tightly packed faces of the other layers of columns.
Looking down at the flat top of a single column. The inner two edges (where they meet the next column are very neat with just a few millimeters gap) - the outer edges are rougher, as they are being weathered away.
Basalt columns are a striking geological feature, caused by large lava flows slowly cooling; so wherever they're found - it's a sure sign of volcanic activity in the past.
Stone steps lead down to the level of an old lava tunnel. The roof is partially collapsed but part of the tunnel remains at one end.
The curved top of the lava tunnel seen from today's ground level.
An intrepid explorer stands at ground level but we can see the open mouth of the tunnel beneath.
At ground level looking down through a hole of moss and rocks into the lava tunnel below. A face peers out of the gloom.
Who isn't tempted by a big cave entrance - this one the outskirts of Rèkyavik is a collapsed lava tunnel!
Try and stop me! Also top marks for the shuck pin 😍
Hoping to catch the show at the weekend 🤩
Just catching up, and was reminded of 🎶 "a shiver of sharks is just enough to give your kids a treat, a shiver of sharks is just enough until it's time to eat, is full of of maritime goodness and very small and neat..." 🎶 etc

I imagine owls are quick readers so you'll get it back soon 🤓
The museum plaques suggested that some of the heads resemble fish (makes sense as it was a river-side community) so perhaps there's a water link with the well too! 🐟
It represents a tuning fork, where the two prongs of the scientific and philosophic learning resonate together 🧘
The 12 knee high stones that make up the circle; under a blue sky streaked with clouds.
"The Twelve Apostles" is the first stone circle I've visited in a long while. Also made sure to see some of the many cup-and-ring marked boulders while up on Ilkley Moor. 📷 my own and CC0
As in "small revenue" (to date so please) buy tickets now. I can't make it but have a good one🎉
I read "small revenue so buy tickets now" which also makes sense 😁
A simplified stone head with a sombre expression
Head and neck with recognisable eyes nose and mouth
Very simple bun unmistakable face carved in a boulder
Carving of head, and torso with hands
These were all carved at least 6000 years ago. Found in a settlement on the banks of the Danube at Lepenski Vir, Serbia.
A simply decorated grave slab with a rounded cross before the inscription and a skull and crossbones after it.
I'll see your brass momento mori, and raise you one grave slab from 1799 (In the yard of a monastery. Sremski Karlovci, Serbia)
A black-and-white map of the main body of England, covered with the locations of hundreds of haunted hotels, inns and guesthouses.
Fancy staying somewhere extra exciting - well with permission from and thanks to www.facebook.com/UKHauntedHot... , the map now shows hundreds of haunted locations in the UK 👻
Rather than sticks - the version I like is when they used to take the youngsters of the village, turn them upside down and (gently) tap their heads on the boundary markers - literally putting the knowledge into their heads! 😀
