"Below 'STAGSDEN 2000' and written vertically is the legend 'TOADS'"

With ads on the end I'd guess 'Amateur Dramatic Society.' has TO any local meaning?

Next time you are there you will have to ask someone! The internet draws a blank.

Only mention I found was in the Parish Newsletter for Feb 2019 which mentions it in connection with the unfortunate passing of one of its founder members MICK BRUMMELL , and a "TOADS" regular prize draw thing that donates £58 each draw to the Parish Hall.

Did think the ADS bit could be Amateur Dramatic Society but more likely to be one of those community charitable groups like Round Table/Lions clubs etc.

I found the same Neil but my impression is that TOADS is for retired people so I'd suggest :
The Old Age Drama Society

Just a thought!!

[CitroJim]

All good thoughts Thank you all! I shall do some more local research in due course

[mickthemaverick]

PS, I don't know if you noticed but the phone number for the TOADS draw was the same as the number in the garden centre advert next to the TOADS notice. So the society could be associated with gardening - The Old Age Diggers Society?

I did notice they did the TOADS draws in "The Coffee Pot" and the newsletter did seem to have a regular slot on a Thursday at 10.30 at the Coffee Pot (in 2019).

...and in totally unrelated but marginally fascinating trivia, when I looked up "The Coffee Pot" Bedford up popped this interesting image....

and a trivia question revealed in the story.

TOH That will be either the Lincoln Memorial Highway or Route 66, I can never remember which is which though I believe Route 66 goes to Chicago!!

Good knowledge Mick Lincoln Highway it is. Didnt know it was a thing until this morning and that it had such a long history back to 1912/13.

Some sort of rotational centrifugal governor core I would guess, from tacho rev limiter maybe?

No and No

Peugeot / Citroen

[mickthemaverick]

In that case Steve, as it is a strangely configured item I'll go for the insides of part of your Citroen C5's suspension, possibly height regulator?
