You are so close I must give it to you.  It is actually the Moat Garden, and well worth a visit if one is down that way.   &well&

_))*. I'm wondering what the bible in 'pigeon' is like?

Well for those interested here is a sample.  The whole lot is on  t'internet!

God Make Da Firs Guy
(Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:7-8; 1 Corint 6:16, 15:45, 47; Efesus 5:31)
Dat time, wen God, da one dey call Yahweh, wen make da world an da sky, 5All ova da world, neva even have bushes inside da fields. Neva have grass dat come up inside da fields, cuz da God Yahweh neva make da rain come down on top da groun yet, an cuz neva have nobody fo work da groun. 6Had fog come up outa da groun, an da dew from dat was da ony watta dat da land get, dat time.
7Den da God Yahweh take dirt from da groun an make one guy. God blow on top his face fo make da guy come alive. Az how da guy get life inside him.

God Put Da Guy Inside One Place Wit Trees
8Da God Yahweh wen plant plenny trees one place ova dea Eden side, da east side. Dass wea he put da guy he wen make. 9Da God Yahweh make um grow outa da groun, all nice kine tree you like look at, da kine dat make fruits good fo eat. Inside da place wit all da trees, inside da middo, had one Tree Dat Can Make You Live Foeva if you eat da fruit, an one Tree Dat Can Make You Know Wass Good An Wass Bad if you eat da fruit. 10Had one riva dat come up inside Eden an give watta fo all da trees inside dat place. Outside, da riva split up an come four diffren riva. 11One riva get da name Pishon, an go aroun da outside Havilah land. (Dass da place wea get gold inside da groun, 12da bestes kine gold, an gum from one tree fo make perfume, an rocks da kine fo make jewelry.) 13One nodda riva get da name Gihon, an go aroun da outside Cush land. 14One nodda river get da name Tigris, da one dat go by Assyria on da east side. Da odda river, dass da Eufrates Riva.

ENJOY!    :D

                Where would you find this bridge in the North Wales area?

It looks like the new cycle track by Glasinfryn on the old mill road to Pentir       I tried to check it on Google Street view but the cycle track wasn't completed when the Google photos were taken.   ???

                Spot on, Hugo. We were walking the old railway track from Tregarth to Port Penrhyn when they were erecting the bridge a couple of years ago, and one of the lads working on it showed us the soundproofing layer that they were putting on the bridge deck to muffle horses hooves so they wouldn't "spook" with the echo as they crossed the bridge! We thought he was taking the p**s, but there was a story in the Daily Post about it the next week.
       If you look in the original picture I posted you will see a train signal just to the right of the chimney of the house. The owner is obviously a railway enthusiast as his garden in full of old railway memorabilia and fittings, both from local stations and from further afield.

An easy one if you know it.     Where is this house and what was it previously?

I think it was a pub, but I just cannot remember where it is.   :D

Nearly right Yorkie but it wasn't a pub, just very near one.

Is it very close to Capel Curig?   Wasn't it a school?

It's not in Capel Curig but somewhere in the Conwy Valley and it wasn't a school.    There is an old and newer school nearby though.

Within 100 yards of each other on this one street this place has closed, so has the old school, the pub, Chapel and the Church with the newer Cemetery.

Nice try Fester but it's on the other side of the River Conwy.    Does this other photo help?  It's further up the street
