The bottom one is solid, so I am going flagpole. Top  ring for lashings. Given the location it's possible that the building had some official function when the fishing trade still worked off the quay. I haven't seen anything similar, but perhaps in the manner of these more modern examples.

Now why didn't I think of that, it's obvious! ]]> Wed, 15 May 2019 12:13:49 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108189.html#108189 <![CDATA[Question for you... : Bottom one for tying up your horse....]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108187.html#108187 Author: peteknopp

Bottom one for tying up your horse. Top one for tying up your giraffe??!!]]> Wed, 15 May 2019 11:23:11 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108187.html#108187 <![CDATA[Question for you... : I wondered if they were holders...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108182.html#108182 Author: cubsur

I wondered if they were holders for some kind of old drainpipe.

I looked at several of those old pictures and some others, but they are not quite distinct enough to make out what is in the brackets.

Frustrating, innit?

I will be in town later and will see if I can spot anything similar.

And similarly this pic. Most interesting, I shall make further enquiries on next visit, or perhaps heed your advice and concentrate on the food, or, hic, the vino tinto! 🍷

Cheers Col.
A further search of my library and I found this pic. It has a pole in it, vertical so I don’t understand the roof line, but it isn’t a flag pole. I wonder if it was telephone or electricity?

Andrew

The first picture shows (to the right of the red car) flag poles that are angled from a stone base similar to those your referring to and which avoid the roofline so that theory bites the dust BUT-

Picture two appears to show something going vertically through the roof overhang (hence two stone brackets). Could it be a stovepipe or flu coming from, or adjacent to, the first floor window?

what is the nearest gas station





Next time you're in a restaurant concentrate on the food 🤣]]> Tue, 14 May 2019 13:33:55 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108177.html#108177 <![CDATA[Question for you... : Here you go Col, they can be clearly...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108174.html#108174 Author: Andrew

Here you go Col, they can be clearly seen in the background, roof line looks the same so, although they can be seen and clearly some years ago, I don’t know if this pic helps much?

The fact that they are stone suggests to me that they could be an original feature of the building. The roofline could have changed over the years so that may not preclude your theory of a flagpole. They may also been part of an old downpipe and guttering system.

On the other hand it could be something totally different! I think some old photos of the building are required. 😏]]> Tue, 14 May 2019 08:19:30 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108173.html#108173 <![CDATA[Question for you... : Took this picture looking down...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/question-for-you_topic11031_post108170.html#108170 Author: Andrew

Took this picture looking down on Cabana Fresca building, right on the front.
My query is, what are the two stones, sticking out of, built into the wall, one above the other by about eight feet for?
They have holes through them, I did think flag pole but why would the bottom one have a complete through hole and not a blind hole if so? Also, the roof line is in the way. So, any ideas what theses are or were for?
