The Gruffy, Sanderstead is a small park with a pond and a few benches. It sits at the top of Sanderstead Hill, between the main Limpsfield road and All Saints church.
From www.croydon.gov.uk/libraries-leisure-and-culture/parks-an...:
The area around the pond and church once constituted Sanderstead Village, until in 1799 the squire added the village green to his park, a process of enclosure that went on in Sanderstead during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1958‐60 Sanderstead Archaeological Group excavated in the vicinity of the pond and found traces of a 17th century lodge‐house and further digging revealed the presence of man as far back as the Mesolithic Period, nearly 12000 years ago. Pottery fragments dated between 100 AD ‐ 1300 AD, a bronze belt‐end of saxon era was also found.

This is the view from the Sitting in the Light of the Setting Sun bench. Same day, just a minute later. *smile*
The bench and "is that a coffee table right beside it?!!"
N°2 of the 4 photos I got in Lannion.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
This little bench is in front of a sewing store in a small strip mall. There is also a coffee shop and I think there was a beauty parlor. The name of the parlor was “We’s Cuttin Up.” I think it moved somewhere else or I just didn’t see it or maybe it refers to the sewing store. I really don’t know much about this mall as it is!
Happy Bench Monday!
Old and very well used
Has seen lots
And heard lots
Been in some shitty weather
And lots of lovely weather
Does it need some maintenance?
Probably
We can't tell the bench that you have to do that on your own
Some things needs to be taken care of
Old and worn out
Just like what we are going to feel and maybe feeling already
We need to be taken care of, but we also have the privilege to take care of ourselves
Lucky us
Maintaining is important, but all in balance
Have a fabolous weekend!
HBM everyone!! If you can on a busy Monday, 'take five' out of your busy day and sit upon a bench :))
. . . and benches, each with an unobstructed view of the ocean. The photographer has chosen a spot that includes a view of the Nubble Lighthouse, just offshore on a tiny rock island.
Happy Bench Monday..HBM!!!!!!!!
This is one of the wooden benches from the Hamilton Greenbelt. It's another one of those donated from a family who's lost someone they dearly loved.
The hike yesterday went well. I would like to go there after a good rain and see how the water falls looks when they are really flowing.
How was your weekend
Happy Bench Monday! This the 2nd bench from Bandon, Oregon. The benches may be crafted from Redwoods.
Bandon is a city in Coos County, Oregon, United States, on the south side of the mouth of the Coquille River. It was named by George Bennet, an Irish peer, who settled nearby in 1873 and named the town after Bandon in Ireland, his hometown. The population was 3,066 at the 2010 census. Wikipedia

Happy Bench Monday
Someday I'll post a picture of the back! I love that the design is followed thru... 😄
Remembering summer at Fyvie Castle where the cool shade and seats were a welcome escape from the long, hot, dry summer.
Shot using an infrared converted camera, with the 850nm filter and a 200mm telephoto lens. Post processing through Photoshop.
HSS! And have a splendid Sunday ;o)
And an early Happy Bench Monday too!
