What is your rarest nomination?

That’s pretty cool!

I hope a 12th century cross qualifies.

It’s a lovely location.

Submitted a Queen Victoria postbox in salisbury but was rejected as too close to a plastic park info board. Really annoying…

18th century water dish for animals as a way of knowing which animals had rabies or other diseases.

Not all that old, but not a new tractor certainly

Rare because its at a pub, and as we have heard a few times, pubs are contentious in countries that arent the UK. It’s there as play equipment and it has super cute “eyes”

Dont know how I missed this one when i was looking through my nominations. It’s a viaduct built in 1878 that you can walk on now because it’s apart of a park

As for my contributions to this topic, I have a bunch of old stuff I nominated in my hometown in Italy. There’s loads of historical POIs there which were not in Niantic’s database so it’s been fun to add them. Examples include the Church bell tower which is from the 16th century, and a middle-age monastery on top of a hill which is now sometimes used as a theatre.

To add to this


I would say these are rare to see in other places in england but not really in this county

An old miners welfare club (about 100 years old) in a hall ( a big house many centuries old). It’s now turned into a community event place open to everyone.

This stuff looks great! I haven’t gotten around to submitting the nomination yet, but there’s this old advertisement for Kramer-brand thermometers I found walking around that caught my eye because it used to have a real oversized thermometer bolted to it

It’ll probably get rejected, but I’ll submit it next chance I get

These might not look rare but in 6 months time after Emily goes haywire and does a mass UK purge these will be like hen’s teeth.
