Art deco could be empire state building

[Stanley]

Well spotted Tom. Not the Empire State but very close and founded in the same era.

[Steeplejerk]

Found it but I cheated ,very interesting,I won't spill the beans

[Stanley]

Good lad Tom.....

[Stanley]

Have we to ask Tom to tell us? Or will someone else have a go.

[Steeplejerk]

Horn & Hardart automat,started in Philadelphia 1888 branched out to Manhattean 1912 ,apparently selling 90million coffees a year

[Stanley]

That's it Tom. The last of the NY Automats which were incredibly popular at one time and mostly run By Jewish people selling Kosher food. Ethel took me there and I enjoyed it.
Next one?

[Stanley]

Where is it? Clue, this was in 1991 and it's been refurbished since.....

[Steeplejerk]

I thought it was the Union chain Bridge but its not

[Stanley]

That's right Tom..... It's not!

[Big Kev]

Did we not have this one a little while ago? Oich Bridge?

[PanBiker]

I'm with Kev on this one. Yes we did but not in this thread, it was in Today I Shall Mainly .

[Stanley]

Curses! You're right. When I found it I was interested because of the designer, Dredge, and the fact that the local council didn't appear to know they had it, at least they did nothing about it.



As you can see, they have mended their ways since....

[Stanley]

Another bloody Bridge. Where is it and why is it famous?

[Gloria]

[Stanley]

That and foot traffic Gloria.

[Stanley]

Ian has it right, it's Brig at Doon near Ayr.
