sadly both shut. Breakspears has been converted to flats and offices but is a protected building so outside it has stayed the same  :thumbup ...hence the second picture of the Rebellion brewery. doing really well and the yearly charity fund raiser is extremely popular...




Next challenge   YOUR BIKE AND A CASTLE   plenty to choose from.

On my way back from Bristol to Portsmouth, I came to a village called Netheravon and saw a "Welcome to..." sign, so grabbed this pic :)

Unfortunately it's not clear from the photo, but the sign on the left says "Home of the Red Devils"!

Next challenge:

Your bike next to a village church.

Seriously, Dude?!

I could have done that last week when I was surfing up in Bristol, but I'm not going back all that way just for this...!  :eek

Ok, it doesn't look like anyone's going to get this, so would your old University be acceptable?

This is Mercantile House, part of Portsmouth University.

That isn't blue and I don't think it's anything to do with English Heritage  :rolleyes

Searched English Heritage site and he not listed for some reason.  I did find this http://blueplaquesguy.byethost24.com/content/Eliot_TS_W8.html?i=1 

When you click the link for English Heritage you get
https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/eliot-t.s.-o.m.-1888-1965 perhaps they've disowned him  :eek  or the one in the link about is a fake, or their site is buggered  :rolleyes   

English Heritage only cover London, other areas of the country are run by local councils not English Heritage. 

Red mate you need do go south into London, much shorter ride  :lol ;)

Ok, the fault is mine, I thought it was all run by English Heritage, but it seems they only do London, however there are similar plaques all over the country administered by various different authorities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_plaque

So, since it was what I was thinking of, even if it wasn't precisely what I was asking for (and since nobody else has made an entry!), I'm still accepting it :thumbup
