I like Devizes :) I always think it looks like a town I could happily live in every time I drive through it..

I've only just noticed the Chinese Takeaway... Hiding in plain sight from me!

You should have edited out the Chinese Takeaway :-D Could have been anywhere between Hertfordshire and Somerset if it wasn't for that and a lot more difficult :-D

Yourself and Jim have occasionally travelled through the delights of Lincolnshire on your travels. Here's one to store away for a bit of a quest. It's another for the "Red Church Clocks" list recently discovered.

Try it as a whatsthisthen? but it may take a bit of finding.

A genuine Whatsthisthen? I have no idea and neither does anyone else I've asked, although my locksmith friend did make a suggestion involving letterboxes, so a chance to shine! :-D

My own research leads me to believe it is a hollowing tool for use in wood turning processes. Can anyone elaborate on that? :-D

A lemon farmer? Or a dealer in lemons, a costermonger perhaps... Which was what Andre Citroen's parents were...
