This unassuming artefact, now largely forgotten, carries with it a rich history that is both military and scientific.

Another wonderful post, spent many years as a keen photographer wandering Keele woods especially in the spring but never seen this. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for this channel. I’m a former resident of Hanley circa 88 to 92 and these videos are really informative.
