Regents Canal sign wrought in iron
On my recent cycle ride along part of the Regent's Canal (Regent's or Regents? The apostrophe came automatically) I came across a wonderful wrought iron sign.
It shows some of the things associated with the canal, either from the past or in the present.

It would be the wine for me!
ReplyDeleteThe Duck and the Fish perhaps?
ReplyDeleteKeep guessing!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much it weighs !!
ReplyDeletewell I'm going to go for the narrowboat - plus the propellor because it's a reminder for you of your happy times messing about in the Thames with one :o)
ReplyDeleteYou've got one of them, flingel.
ReplyDeleteis the other one the snail?
ReplyDeleteNot the snail. Close though.
ReplyDeleteok, well of course I don't know in what respect you mean close but I'm now going to go for the butterfly because depending on which way you view it, you could either see it as looking down on it from above - or he's coming at you with a rather menacing look!
ReplyDeleteClose as in close on the sign.
ReplyDeleteDragonfly? If it's not that one, I give up!
ReplyDeleteflingel, no, it wasn't the dragonfly. As you're now giving up, I'll tell you - it was the boot. There's no great significance in the boot, it's just that I liked the way it seemed to be just hanging there.
ReplyDeleteThe propeller is done superbly - the whole sign is a work of art.
