A friend of mine has asked me how much one half of a former coal mine head gear would be worth.

Maybe try Wakefield council, they have several in storage for future mining monuments.

I suspect one half would equal one monument and command a higher premium as the complete wheel equals two monuments?;D

Although every time I've seen a half wheel used as a monument it's always the top half so probably harder to sell the bottom halves.....

I suppose the bottom 1/2 is weighed in and perhaps only the top 1/2 commands a premium.

..........which leads to the suspicion that some unscrupulous persons may upend bottom halves and sell them as tops:o

The "wheel Trade" appears to be a very murky business!:lol:

What goes around, comes around. How long can we spin this one out?

For as long as the bearings are 'palm greased' by the unscrupulous.

I think you lot are stuck in a vicious circle, from which there is no escape, just ask Mr Kafka....., if there had been a manic cackle emoji I would have used it.
