filling pump/station1102 yd

Explorer Tom Filling pump or station in Teergay is a rare survivor from when cars were still learning how to drive. It’s standing there looking bored while the modern world rushes past it. After a few pints, it’ll tell you about the time it saw a ghost on the motorway.

Explorer Tom This horseshoe-shaped burnt mound is open on one side, facing northwest like it’s waiting for a bus that isn't coming. It’s got a bit of character, even if it is just a pile of old ash. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name, like 'Reg'.

Raleigh HouseGate lodge · 2.1 mi
