Visit Notes

Sunday, 13th October 2002

This curio is not marked on the OS maps and I only found out about it via another web site. Its current location is not original - it was rebuilt at the side of the canal where is was discovered during the construction of the waterway.

An almost triangular capstone sits atop three 1m tall pillars, forming a sort of tripod table. Easy to get to and worth a visit if you are passing for the 'oddness' factor.
