WWII Home Guard Emplacement - Waverly Abbey - Farnham

UK: WWII Home Guard Fort Revisit – Waverly Abbey – Farnham! (23.5.2026)

23/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Perhaps a platoon (30-men), or a “section” (10-men) would have manned this small fort. There was a small artillary gun at the front together with a machine-gun – whilst others defended the walls via “murder-holes” in the centre of the walls or high-up from the Parapet (Merlons) and Battlement. A team would man the front gun(s) – whilst the other soldiers would be positioned on the outside and inside of the “zig-zag” structure. The enemy would have to advance past Embrasures blasting with vicious fire-power. When entering the interior (over the dead bodies of the exterior guard) the enemy would be met with sharply changing brick structures all defended round blind-corners. The interior guard would fall back to the rear of the front-gun to make a final stand. The heavy guns would be destroyed to prevent capture. These young and old men (and some women) formed static infantry formations designed to stand their ground and buy time for the regular army to reach the location.

UK: Weird News from England – Graveyard-Shift Nearly Kills Council Worker! (3.4.2026)

03/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

If this is not an April Fool’s news-article – it probably should be. It has been reported on the BBC – but I am not too sure – as it is so relentlessly ridiculous. On the other hand, things like this occur throughout the UK due to cost-cutting, lack of training, privatisation, and a general lack of care and attention. When I was young, and being trained to work on factory equipment, the older man who was training us as teens – told us a story about an inattentive worker who shut his testicles in a drawer. We believed at the time, as most of us were around 16-years old and had only just left home. We were all stood in grey overalls trying to work it all out. Driving a sit-down lawn-mower near a steep drop – or manoeuvring it across a not too strong (and obviously under-pressure) brick-wall holding in tonnes of bone-infested soil, seems to me to be a very stupid thing to do. If the story is true – then it is only by luck that no one was walking down the street at the time. Of course, we used to be sacked for life-endangering stupidity – but in today’s world – the worker is compensated and rewarded. In the old days, the deficient worker would be re-trained and moved away to work somewhere else – where nobody knew him. This is how the workers placated the management and bourgeoisie. I wouldn’t be surprised if this worker was not given his own rural church – and a sit-down mower to drive round all-day to his heart’s content – with a fire-engine and ambulance standing by – just in case!

Brixham: Coins in the Wall! (2.4.2026)

02/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Administrative matters aside – I notice the above “interior” wall looks as if it used to be an “external” wall – as it looks weather-beaten and worn. Furthermore, in the UK, builders often leave a coin featuring the year any renovations were carried-out as a form of “good luck”. Usually, we find these coins under floor-boards, carpets, and lino, etc. Sometimes they are lodged between wooden joints or under various structures. In this wall, the coins seem cemented on the outside of the wall. There is a 1966 half-penny, and a 1960 three-penny. When I was first at school in the early 1970s – these coins were still in use. The old half-penny would today possess the buying power of £5 – whilst the three-penny bit could buy about £30s worth of goods. This was before the UK joined the EEC (1.1.1973). Prior to this, a British pound was comprised of 240 pence – afterwards it was deliberately devalued to just “100” pence. What a disgrace all this was!

UK: “Israeli Militias Intimidated Us During Holy Land Visit” – States Archbishop of York! (26.12.2025)

26/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

“It was sobering to see this wall for real on my visit to the Holy Land, and we were stopped at various checkpoints and intimidated by local Israeli militias who told us that we couldn’t visit Palestinian families in the occupied West Bank.

“But this Christmas morning, as well as thinking about the walls that divide and separate the Holy Land, I’m also thinking of all the walls and barriers we erect across the whole of the world and, perhaps, most alarming of all, the ones we build around ourselves and construct in our hearts, and of how our fearful shielding of ourselves from strangers.

“The strangers we encounter in the homeless on our streets, refugees seeking asylum, young people robbed of opportunity and growing up without hope for the future, means that we are in danger of even failing to welcome Christ when he comes.”

St Nicholas Church and the ‘Holy’ Spike Situation! (9.9.2023)

09/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I think a Saxon Church was built on a Pagan site – and then eventually replaced with a Norman construction which still stands today. After photographing these constructions and enquiring as to their function – a number of experts stated that they look like ‘Homeless Spikes’ (or earlier prototypes) designed to keep people from entering and loitering in certain areas deemed ‘sensitive’ by landlords, business owners and caretakers of State property! These constructs, however, seem to pre-date the ‘modern’ incarnations of ‘Homeless Spikes’ – but almost certainly serve the same function – despite not appearing on any other corner of the outer Church construct!

Down House: A Curious Stone Wall… (9.7.2022)

09/07/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

The middle-classes possessed an idyllic physical space within which their bodies existed – a situation (and set of material conditions) that often generated a corresponding sense of a ‘spacious’ interior (or expansive mind-set) that could, providing the right education and motivation was present, lead to ground-breaking theorising and progressive scientific endeavour!
