Talk:Peter Labilliere

Original gravestone
I have been able to find two images of Labilliere’s 'original' stone. The first is in a printed source - The second is a scanned, online image (from the Shutterstock archive) -. The stone is much cleaner in the Shutterstock image (number 703542qv) than in the Country Life image and the top right-hand corner of the stone appears to have been eroded a little so that the final 'e' of Labelliere is not visible in the former, (but this may just be a trick of the light).

Incidentally, in the Shutterstock image, "No 6" has been marked onto the front of the stone. The Country Life article says that this is a War Department marking. My guess is that this is connected with the Old Fort (built in the late 1890s), as there are boundary stones marked No 1, No 4, No 5 and No 7 on the 1897 OS map (but not on the 1870 map). The "No 6" marking appears to be a stamp, which might suggest that the majority (if not all) of the 'stone' is made of concrete. Does anyone know more? Mertbiol (talk) 09:16, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
