Hi I am new here. My brother went out today on a bike ride and found this: http://i.imgur.com/jPyS8kF.jpg He sent it me because I know a fair amount about history but only vaguely about the WW2 era I have no idea what it is. It looks like a WW2 thing, that's why I am here because I guess you know more than I. If it wasn't anything important the council would have definitely gotten rid of it by now, they like destroying things in my city. I don't think it's a phone box. Maybe an air raid siren control box (though I doubt it) Maybe a telephone exchange circuit? That circular thing reminds me of an old electric meter. PS. Sorry I can't upload the file on here the file is too large. Please help, I need to know what it is or it will bother me
Looks reminiscent of a water level gauge. Was it located over a river or drain or something similar? The main clues will be on the name plate about three parts of the way down on the right hand side: could be manufacturers name etc.
It's located by a road, next to it is a park and on the park there is a brook. I think you are probably right Oh my brother said it had "gallon" written on it, so yes It is probably water related. There's me hoping for something amazing
If it's a water level gauge it would be directly over or very close to the water source. What does it say on the name plate/label?
