The Capetonian WOE Thread

[Woody]

I think that I’ll search Scottish churches with lots of recycling bins

[G-CPTN]

Not your conventional cruciform church building - perhaps 'non-conformist'?

[ian16th]

Built from Cotswold stone?

[Woody]

I think that we might need a couple of clues OM, please

[om15]

The church was designed in 1841 by Patrick Wilson but very soon afterwards remodelled by Thomas Mackenzie in the Italian Style with its Wheel Window: three arch loggia at ground level and its impressive four storey Tuscan Campanile.

PN should have spotted this if he passed by here.

Evening all.
Reminds me of the church opposite the park with the floral displays in Forres. Not sure of the name or denomination, but have passed it many times.

[om15]

It is.

Capt at the helm.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Artnoon all. Apologies, have only just picked this up on return from the clinic.
So, thanks, OM, next up and staying with the theme of forum regulars may have passed by in the past when this was the main road, we have ..

[Smeagol]

It is a tollhouse at Caergeiliog, Anglesey on the A5, Holyhead Rd.

Presumably some of our colleagues might have seen it when stationed at RAF Valley.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Spot on, Smeagol. The turning on the left takes you down to a popular viewpoint for activities at RAF valley. The tollhouse is a listed building. The road used to be the main A5 trunk road across Anglesey, before the A55 Expressway was built.

YHC.

[Smeagol]

Thanks Cpt P.

We have had lots of churches and pubs and thanks to Cpt P a tollhouse, but how about an odd structure on a hill this time? What is it and where?

[om15]

The Heinz monument near St Just in Cornwall.

Cape Cornwall Mine, a tin mine on the cape, was operated intermittently between 1838 and 1883. The mine's 1864 chimney near the peak of the cape was retained as an aid to navigation. In the early 20th century the former ore dressing floors were for a time converted for use as greenhouses and wineries.

In 1987 the mine site was purchased by the H. J. Heinz Company of the United States (and British plants) and donated to the nation. The remains of Cape Cornwall Mine are designated as part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[Smeagol]

Excellent om15, you are today's winner and get to post the next challenge.

As an aside, Cape Cornwall Golf Club is located on the hillside from where I took the photograph, and whilst it may not be the best course in the world the views are certainly world class. Worth a visit on a nice summer day just for the views,

[om15]

Thank you, this should go very quickly.

[4mastacker]

The entrance to the Goodwood circuit?

[om15]

Glorious Goodwood it is.
Stacker on the blocks.

[4mastacker]

Thank you OM.

Normally, pictures of bridges are from the side. However, here's one from the traveller's perspective.

At least two of our number will have driven across this structure.

This is the bridge in my village!

The only bridge on the river to survive the great flood of 1771.

[4mastacker]

I thought you might recognise it G-C.

[G-CPTN]

Before a by-pass was built, this bridge was a severe bottleneck as north-south traffic needed to cross the east-west highway that ran parallel to the river.
Such was the congestion that on bank-holiday weekends there would be queues for hours waiting to cross.

A Bailey bridge was erected alongside the bridge to the left of the current carriageway.
Once the by-pass was completed the Bailey bridge was removed.
