**Newport Puddingstone** submitted by ocifant : The Newport Puddingstone, lost and abandoned at the roadside (Vote or comment on this photo)

Natural Stone / Glacial Erratic in Essex

This puddingstone lies in Station Road, outside the village hall, abandoned by the roadside, presumably not in its original position as it now lies on the tarmac as though someone forgot to clear up after laying the road.

It *is* puddingstone though, and the shape is somewhat reminiscient of the Standon Puddingstone, although in this case in a somewhat less salubrious setting.
