Come on over to view the original.

Plenty of time & opportunities to take photos as you crawl along in the never-ending rubber-necking traffic queue on the A303.

just wondering

Is there a "stonehenge" at Legoland?

:-D

Well John, as the embalmers might say...another hard day at the orifice :-D

Dermot, I have seen the original, which is why I'm questioning the copy :-)

Oz has its own unique culture which occurred long before European 'settlement' so why someone would wish to bring a not very good model of European culture from a different period into the country, other than for monetary reasons, I have no idea.

The word anachronistic springs to mind: totally out of time, not to mention culture.

Original (that you crawl past in traffic jams on A303) is, to be honest, a bit old and dated now and doesn't reflect the Britain that visitors want to see. I would be all for residential development on that site (above flood plain, not far from Greater London) and perhaps build a replica of old Stonehenge out of lego and place it next to the concrete cows in our modern cultural mecca that is called Milton Keynes Central ;-)

Ah, John. You would really be at home in WA: demolish all the old historic buildings and then erect a plaque saying 'Here stood.....' fill in the detail:-D

As much as I detest Alan Bond, at least he preserved the old buildings in Fremantle. He created the Notre Dame University, and all the colleges are housed in the old buildings, which, out of term time, are open to the public :-)
