Title: Another where was I? Post by: Bmblbzzz on December 19, 2016, 18:25:08 I didn't know I was going here, but when I saw it, I thought it would be worth a photo. Not obscure enough for the well-travelled observant eyes of this forum, I'm sure, but here it is:

Darn, BNM beat me to the line! ::) Title: Re: Another where was I? Post by: Bmblbzzz on December 19, 2016, 19:35:54 I knew it would be too easy for you lot! Was surprised (cos I hadn't been paying attention to where we were going) to find myself going past it on Saturday.

Or possibly New York City, either would do. (Imber.) Title: Re: Another where was I? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 20, 2016, 00:47:14 (Imber.) Oh, well done: http://www.imbervillage.co.uk/visitor-information.html ;) Title: Re: Another where was I? Post by: Bmblbzzz on December 20, 2016, 11:54:18 Yes, we got there about 3pm and listened to the carols from the church in the otherwise deserted village as the sun sank on a misty Plain. Quite eerie.

Oh, well done: http://www.imbervillage.co.uk/visitor-information.html ;) Thanks for posting that link CfN. I'm planning to visit later this year. I found one quote on the website to be the most telling of all: Quote The blacksmith, Albert Nash, is said to have died of a broken heart.. “When the time came to evacuate the village they found him slumped over his anvil, crying like a child,” a local historian recalled. “Within a month he was dead.”, he is buried at the village church.
