I don't know what that is! Is it all cast iron? Or are they rivets round the outside? What's on the back?

no its not rivets round edge ,it is a bobbly pattern. it has a horsey type relief and a funny man thing at the top. i think it is iron as it is HEAVY. it has one sort of rivet/bolt at top on the back...

I'm fairly new to this thread (I love threads like this, I'll do my best to try and keep up).... out of interest, CoolTrikerChick: What's the current status with your daydream challenge?

We had a local farmer decided to split his land up into small plots and sell them off. I think a few people thought they could buy the land and eventually get planning permission, but it's in the middle of nowhere in a very beautiful part of the country so it's unlikely.

Some of the plots were around 1/3 of an acre and sold for £3,500. It might seem steep, but this is in the South East with good access (although no water).

If we were going to stay here for the longer term, I think we would have certainly considered it.

Yes I would think exactly that's what it is. The Victorians loved making stuff that had old styling and cast iron, which I'm pretty sure it is, was popular then.
