There's an old Royal Mail coach outside a pub about 20 miles up the A5 from me. The story goes that it was one of the last horse-drawn mail coaches to run the London to Holyhead route. It broke a wheel and there being no further coaches to bring up a spare, it has been outside the pub ever since.

It is of course regularly maintained and re-painted, and last time I passed it I noticed that at long last they have given it a fourth wheel, although that does rather spoil the story a bit.

It's not a route I travel much now, but I'll try to locate it for you using Google Earth. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.09...2!8i6656?hl=en

Better still, I found this ... Access Denied Dunno what the 'Access Denied means, 'cos the link works.
