Those of you that have been following my blogs for some time now, may well recall that this is not the first time I have posted Stone Faces for Faces on Friday.
There is a collection similar to the one I share here on the railings in Marta where I used to live in Italy! Faces Set In Stone - Marta I have never found out the story behind them. So when I saw this one in Padstow I was again fascinated.
Does anyone know the story behind this one?
I have already shared other photos from Padstow here on Travel Tales earlier this week, from my visit to The National Lobster Hatchery and I will be sharing more that I took whilst exploring this delightful place in a future post.
Fascinating… I want to know the story behind this! My husband's family is from Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteI missed the face until i read the words, looked like a part of the stone.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I'd really like to know the story behind this. :-)
ReplyDeleteEasily missed I am sure, as it is not the prettiest of faces.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. A belated Happy New Year to you!
I don't think I have ever seen a face in stone. perhaps I should keep my eyes open, Great shots. Diane x
ReplyDeleteWell now that IS a face! Fascinating and amazing that this kind of thing could happen with no history evident (here or in Marta). You'd think there would be stories about how they happened, but I guess they are lost to history.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know how they did that since it was so long ago and without modern tools!
ReplyDeleteHow mysterious! It's always amazing to see what people long ago accomplished.
