The Old George InnListed building · 131 ydExplorer Tom The Old George Inn in Bolsover sounds like it’s had better days. It’s Grade II listed, so maybe the ghost of a pub landlord is still polishing glasses. Cheers to that!
War MemorialListed building · 169 ydExplorer Tom War Memorial in Whitwell is keeping watch. It’s Grade II listed, so it’s got some gravitas. I bet the stone is cold and the wind is loud out here.

Old milestoneMonument or public art · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Old milestone has caught my eye in Bassetlaw. I bet a monument or public art with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
