Weathervane Wednesday ~ Brought to you by the letter "B"

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly.  I started by publishing weather vanes from the Londonderry area, but now I've been finding interesting weather vanes all across New England.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weather vanes, too! If you know an interesting or historical weathervane, please let me know.

Today's weather vane is from New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weather vane #205?  Scroll down to see the answer!




This weather vane is located above the Blake's Creamery ice cream restaurant at 353 South Main Street in Manchester, New Hampshire.  There used to be many Blake's located in Southern New Hampshire, but now this is there are only two and they are both in Manchester.

This weather vane is a simple letter "B".  I've seen these over businesses and even over homes, with the letter representing the surname of the homeowner.  The only other letter weather vane I'd seen in Manchester was a letter "F" over a Friendly's ice cream restaurant.  What a coincidence!  However, recently that Friendly's weather vane was changed to an ice cream cone.
