At the edge of the playing surfaces of The Marsh is this concrete pillar and large manhole cover. The pillar is partly open and lined with grilles, and has running water inside it somewhere. Presumably this is water management in The Marsh - the clue might be in the name.

The Moose Lodge at 137 Chickerell Road was once "The Old Boro Arms". According to the Dorset Echo, "The Weymouth Moose Lodge 248 is part of Moose UK and Moose International, a non-political and non-denominational organisation with 1.5million members across the UK and North America. The branches of the organisation support local charities and other creditable organisations with the aim of improving the lives of those less fortunate. The Weymouth branch is based at its lodge in Chickerell Road, where it holds a number of fundraising events. It also runs events for families at ‘Mooseheart’, a holiday hotel at Winscombe in Somerset where it also runs vocational courses."
