Where Am I? No 12

I wonder if that is another house or it's attached to our mystery dwelling.

I thought it was a lightning conductor

Are we talking about the weather vane?

No...the rod that someone thought was an Ariel.

NO...THE ROD THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT WAS AN AREIL

 

I think the rod that someone thought was an aerial / lightning conductor is just a drainpipe    On the original photo there is a blob which appears to be something attached to it, but it does not appear in the close up.  Must have just been a blob on the scanner.

Yes Caz, I spotted the dog too.

[cazza59]

The blob is actually on the photo and I cloned it out on the enlargement as it was distracting. 

I can't see a rod, just a drain pipe and a weather vane, but it is very late…so I will look again tomorrow.

Glad I wasn't seeing things with the doggy!

Is it possible that this is another example of arts and craft architecture?

Good to see the close-ups. 

So definitely a weather vane.

Worthwhile zooming in I think as what I thought was a brick building is actually tile hung (in part at least) - I think this was more common in some areas than others?

And that appears to be a chimney rather than a tower, but much larger and out of proportion to the rest of the chimneys. It may be on a building behind the house and perhaps the depth of field gives the illusion that it is closer?

I think Nell might have a point with it being Arts and Crafts - might account for the style of windows, the tower, the bays and the awning over the front door ... and the mish mash look of the place.

Thank you for the close ups.

I do now agree it is a weather vane...but I do see a further ''rod'' and to me it is either an aerial or a lightning conductor. The pole along the building looks to be an airshaft. ( is there a cellar?)

Oh I see now what you mean, there is a rod to the right of the weather vane, and what I thought was a drainpipe  probably is an airshaft.  I totally got the wrong end of the stick (or rod  )

I see what you were talking about now Carol
