…in Poole, in the rain
I noticed a number of these pretty brass plaques (head down, in the rain!) but it wasn’t until I got home I found out what they were all about!
They form part of the Poole Town Cockle Trail, you can get a leaflet from the museum and follow the numbers learning some of Poole’s history.
I couldn’t find number 75 but I did find this about the Antelope Pub
The Antelope has a 500 year history. It was a coaching Inn with its own horses, coaches, smithy and even funeral vehicles, and at one stage even brewed its own beer. In the 19th Century coaches left here for Bristol, Bath and London. This building also shows evidence of its earlier origins with a massive stone fireplace in the bar and wooden beams…
Another weekend away following the town trail then?
Look Up Look Down is inspired by Helena.
So clearly photographed – the detail is wonderful. If I were in Poole, I think I’d have to get down on my hands and knees to see these interesting plaques in such sharp focus. Hope it wasn’t rain ALL the way …
The plaques are beautiful, but it’s the angle on that first picture that pulled me back for another look
This is a fascinating look up, look down. Amazing what you have discovered. Sounds like a fun activity for a sunny day.
Great images Miriam, Poole is a wonderful place to visit, I loved going round Poole Pottery!
