As is well known, as Lyn points out, The Hawain depicts the River Stour adjacent to Flatford Mill owned by Constable's Dad that he'd sketched. Then moving elsewhere, he'd used his sketches to then start work on what must be England's best known landscape painting, and many decades later, Boy George arrived there too, to add his own karma.

With no further offers of where this house might be---it's the House of Commons with the ships moored on the Thames, of course.

I think it's time to put this thread to bed  .

I did email (via POE) Dennis, but to no avail.  I hope nothing untoward has happened to him.

We have no Martello Towers where I live, being in the centre of England and in a village, not much call for them as outlooks lol but we did have a Military airstrip during the War, all be it a grass runway. There were quite a few dotted around this East Anglia area as we were a target for the bombings (not that I remember as I wasnt even a twinkle in the eye then Wink anyone else had one where they live?
We had one here too and it's now used as a landing strip for a local Microlight club

This word Lol. I wonder if it originated in South Africa. One of our comedians Leon Schuster made a movie Laugh out Loud.

When returning home from holiday in the U.K. at end June I had packed and locked my suitcases when I found two pairs of underwear on the line. Reluctant to open the suitcases I just put them in my handbag. In my bag were a number of old collectible coins I had bought in U.K. METAL!!!!!! Ting !Ting ! through security and with my luck my bag--searched by a man.Well did I LOL.Cool
