Unearthed arcana- the six images meme

Today was when all of the christmas decorations came down to live in the loft for another eleven months. I have added another New Year Resolution to my list: to clear out the loft of old junk, mainly in order to make way for new junk.

Anyway, I treated myself to a good rummage whilst I was up there and finally I hit paydirt in the last box; a handful of misplaced photos.

I’ve been half-meaning to start a meme called six images you can’t find on the internet no matter how you look, of which vestigially stands at:

  1. (Something personal) The Kenton School 1976 VI Form school photo
  2. (Something childhood) The Kenton Bar Pyramid
  3. (Something local history) The Morley New Pavilion auditorium
  4. (Something impossible, like The Hanging Gardens of Babylon)
  5. (Something apocryphal, like a Prime Minister on a rocking horse wearing a nappy)
  6. (Someting widespread in strikeout, like Britney Spears’ front bottom

Anyway, number two has come up trumps: a photo of the pyramid. I first blogged about it eighteen months ago and it is one of those old postings that gets an occasional comment from people who stumble across it on random searches and can relate to it.

I have taken a snap, notice how it is peeling at top right the corner. I’ll scan it properly one day.

The pyramid at Kenton Bar Estate, North Kenton, Newcastle Upon Tyne

I won’t tag anyone with this meme, but feel free to pick it up and  run with it if you can relate to it.

    Thanks a lot for taking the effort to scour your attic and post this photo, it’s much appreciated by me and I’m sure by everyone else who has spent the last couple of years searching the net for an elusive image of the Pyramid.
