Monkey Hanger in Hartpool, England. Apparently, the monkey was hanged for being a French spy.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes it was Hartlepool, I don’t think the story is true but the legend remains. You’re on.

 

[govner1]

You missed my post it’s a monkey. See above.

When you said mistaken identity I thought you meant the monkey

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I did the story goes a monkey came off a ship during the Napoleonic wars and the locals in Hartlepool had never seen a monkey or a Frenchman. So the monkey was accused of spying and didn’t deny it so was hanged.

I've seen a lot of statues like that in Belgium, so I'm gonna guess... The Congo?

LOL. Not The Congo.

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes you’re on next.

Staying with bridges-

 

[flipster]

The "Teufelsbrücke" (Devils Bridge) in Germany - thb, I'm not sure where exactly, I think it was Saxony. It's a totally artificial construct, the basalt columns are not remotely of natural origin there. Same for the basalt "spikes" in the backgroung

The bridge was some kind of Insta-spot, until they closed it due to the risk of collapse. Then it became a media thing, because the insta-stars wouldn't let go of the bridge. This story brought it back into my memory.

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes recently restored you are on.

 

[govner1]

Something different for a change-

 

[flipster]

The first two things that came into my mind were: Nice or Monaco, because of the lookout to the left ... so... I go with Nice Yacht Harbour, Cote d'Azur, France.

 

[govner1]

Not France

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Croatia?

 

[govner1]
