    I’ve taken a picture of an old tablet by an old structure and it said something about Isaac Newton and had the Antenna symbol on it like on top of the structure was wondering if anyone can decipher. Does this have anything to do with electricity?

    Most of it is in Latin, some in Greek and appears to be some kinds of memorial plaque to people whose surname was Such - one of whom had been named Isaac Newton Such. BTW, "The" Isaac Newton had nothing to do with electricity that I recall - a lot of things about gravity and light. What do you see as an "antenna symbol?" Where did you see this?

    That looks impressively old. What is the structure and where is it?

    Isaac Newton Such and Mary Remington Such.
    If you can find out about these two it might give you some clues.

    Cholera epidemic [19--] [before 6 April 1935] Typed copy of Strachan’s account of the cholera epidemic in Toronto in 1832 and 1834. Accompanying it is a letter to Ernest Hawkins, the secretary of the SPG, 16 February 1847; typed copy of a letter from the people of York expressing their gratitude to Strachan for his help and gifting him a silver bowl, along with a list of subscribers for the gift, and a reply from Strachan, all dated 9 May 1835. Also a Latin funerary inscription (along with the English translation) for Isaac Newton Such and Mary Remington Such, who both presumably died in the epidemic

    They were siblings, the children of James and Georgiana Such - baptised on the same day in October 1831 in Kent, England.

    Wondering if our new member (WELCOME, @Mikeone!!!) might have been referring to what I highlighted in the tombstone???? Although it's not 'on top of the structure'.......

    Yes that was what I was looking at but maybe just a scroll looking thing

    Think you are right (the thing that looks like a rod or a coil) A tombstone? Hopefully Mike reveals the nature and the location of the mysterious old structure soon (otherwise this “20 questions’ game is going nowhere)

    The link I posted in my second post explains exactly what it is and where it is.
