RUDEBOX Wiki Master Registered: 29th Aug 2008 Posts: 19140 Loc: Here.	This photo was took at the Kwik Save store on Poulton Road, Wallasey. I understand that this building was an old Picture House but has anybody any idea what this 'cog'type thing is-sticking out of the wall? It's about 30 feet high- 'above the hole- in-the-wall' cash dispenser. It must be an 'original feature'- but of what?? Attachments: Viewing Permissions May Apply.

WHO in their right mind collects insulators and their brackets?? DON'T answer that Chriskay!! Well spotted Rude! Edited by Pinzgauer (26th May 2013 9:18am)
