Now someone will know the answer.
They may like Andy have looked over old maps or may actually remember what this lump of wood was once fastened to.
I doubt that it was part of a support for the bridge, which seems after 250 years and a bit to be doing okay with the stone blocks.
So are we dealing with a building and if so what sort of building?
Of course Eric will mutter so what?
But Andy and I would like to know.
In the meantime I shall just say that on his walk to Cornbrook along the canal Andy turned up some more mysteries, but they are for tomorrow.
And quick as a flash Liam and David gave us the solution.
Liam wrote, ", and David confirmed it with an article which described how there would a a series of wooden post along the towpath to assist the tow ropes attached to the boats http://www.mikeclarke.myzen.co.uk/2014%20horse%20towage.pdf
So mystery solved in double quick time, watch for tomorrow.
