Your guess is as good as mine.

This is the engraving on both of the sandstone pillars at the entrance to an estate nearby. It seems to me an odd way of writing the date.

Do you think it stands for 1297, or 1927, or, less likely, 1729? 

In case you're wondering, no, it isn't the street number either!

Friday again! Where do the weeks go? Enjoy your weekend, blipmates!
