Yes,  I get the security warning.  Chrome and Bitdefender.  I take a chance and override it.

(OT, but this is the most frequently read thread) Update:
  • Firefox - fail
  • Chromium - fail
  • Konqueror - OK, but with messages about the certificate
  • Opera - fail
  • Sea Monkey - fail

The security certificate expired on 8 September, I think this is something that only Stuart can handle, I've not found a way using the Admin interface.  If anyone does know the way to renew the certificate, please let me know and I'll try to do it for him.  thanks.

The sculpture is at:
  • Nat Grid:            TQ747589 / TQ7471858933
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME14 3AX
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°18'09.7"N 0°30'18.0"E or 51.302705,0.505008

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the web page's format?  I've tried a couple of browsers and it seems to be text only with no formatting.

Thanks Grandarog

I found that sculpture but couldn't see the parallel lines so wasn't sure.

I reckon it's Cobtree Manor Park.  One of the sculptures is a bronze elephant but I'm not sure which sculpture your photo is of.

Off out shortly, but the clue could point to the old  Maidstone Zoo?

Not Preston Hall. With your Elephantine memory I thought you would have got it by now. :)
