The Smithfield
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2018 4:27 pmInteresting picture of the Smithfield. Looks like smoke damage from some windows
Vandalism perhaps?
Three-element FM radio aerial on the roof, at first I thought it was an old 405-line TV aerial.

It does look like the old TV aerial a bit looks simular to a Sirio 4 element beam Dutchman it not a silver rod as I had one which looks nothing like that.
