Excellent Lily but Pont du Gard would have been better, I have walked over the top of that one. Is it still on the Euro banknote ?
Best regards.

Yes
On each banknote, there are a bridge.5, 10,20,50, 100,200 and 500euro.
The bridges represented symbolize the bond which links not only the European people between them, but also Europe with the rest of the world
And le pont du Gard is worth 5 euro !!!

Oh it should be worth more than that Lily, "c'est magnifique"

This was taken last year at our local folk and transport museum at Cultra, Co Down. This street is called Tea Lane and was taken down brick by brick from its original location in Belfast city centre and rebuilt here in the 1980s. The folk side is all based around 1900 and has all sorts of buildings typical of that era. The transport side is also well worth a visit, with huge car and train galleries as well as flight and a Titanic exhibition. All in all a great way to spend a day.!

The NI branch organised a rally here for around 5 years that was always well attended, though we decided to change venue for a couple of years to give some variety.

Long time veiwer and not so recent poster.....not to mention originator!!

Glad to see this has got off its feet after a slow start!!

Its good fun to read thru everything.

Just thought i'd log on and check - dont get much time for forum browsing recently unfortunatley - how things were coming along and im so please its going down well!

I'll officially sanction the new format of week by week changes to the format! Seems to let eveyone have a go rather than the firsty person wins then everyone else misses out!!

Excelent idea whoever tweeked the format!!

Ive only one more thing to say for now...more of a request.

NEXT WEEK IS AVIATION! Im an aircraft engineer and it'd b interesting to see minoes and aircraft, so after the historic building theme lets try aviation.

Will keep watching and posting when I get time!

Cheers Guys!!

Abbots Langley, Herts. Originally a farm (& for information of Lily, was modelled on a farm created by French King Louis XV1 for Marie-Antoinette) it became the 'Ovaltine Dairy Farm' in the 1930's with a famous herd of Jersey cows to provide milk for Ovaltine manufacture. It now forms a private housing estate.

As a child I always fantasised about owning the old Ovaltine factory, then they went and ruined the dream by turning it into flats

Hi everybody

it's about time to finish historic house theme,
yet I thought of having many photographs,when I see all people who discuss here..................

Thanks David and Charlie , without you two, that would have been a failure,a big flat tire.
Now,I do know Cultra near Belfast and Abbots Langley near Watford .Great historic houses both
Well done David, you can choose the next challenge (good luck)
