View Full Version : Keppels Column Arch Stanton 22-10-2004, 13:44 message moved H.P 22-10-2004, 17:27 I thought the stucture was unsafe? Still even from here it will look pretty cool if they do...

The last I heard the structure was condemned; a definite folly. Perhaps some resident of Thorpe Hesley wanted to climb to the moon. PS Liking the Klingon badge, Honeyplanet... my god, I'm sad... mr.blaze 25-10-2004, 04:47 I've never heard of this place, anyone know where there are any pics of it?
