graveyard/cemetery83 ydExplorer Tom Jamestown graveyard has a secret talent for being built right on top of a seventeenth-century friary, which is a lot of subtext for a resting place.

IndicatedTown defences · 139 ydExplorer Tom Town defences in Jamestown makes a low hum sound at night that might just be wind, or ghosts. Mostly destroyed now, but some wall bits remain to keep the mystery alive. Go before the tourists find out.

Two lads bet a pint it was red brick, and they lost badly because it’s just dirt now. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
