Detail from a boarded-up window.

This image raises the age old question, "Is it art if I say it is?".

This de-laminating plywood is from a boarded up window on a very small stone building 

on Plymouth Hoe, The Octagonal Lookout.

This lookout was built sometime around 1870 for the benefit of shipping firms, who, in the days before radio communications, could watch from here for mail steamers making their way towards the Sound. Arrangements could then be made as soon as possible for tenders to be made ready to meet the boats and whisk the postbags and important passengers onto waiting trains in Millbay.
