  2. Thanks GG. Those X things are actually like nuts and bolts. They are the Nuts on the end of Bolts. The bolts being long steel rods that are fix through the building to the other side and they hold old buildings together.

  3. Roy, you are not afraid to tackle any subject. I think buildings and structures are difficult. I love both of these, but I'm really drawn to the mill. It looks absolutely huge...and old. I've seen the "X" things on old buildings before, but I had no idea they were the nut end of a bolt holding the structure together!

  6. Thanks Evie,
    the bottom header was something I observed on a cycle ride back last year. Willow trees growing along side a fenland road.
