A bit cheeky, this one. - Page 2

A wander along Church Street might be nice, there are some nice shops along there, but it won't help solve the puzzle, sorry.

Grr This is really frustrating me and I'm not going to be able to get on here for the rest of the week. I'll be wondering about it all week now.

Up the side of Blockbuster video?

Acrylic-bob · 16-08-2004, 19:37

That used to be Burton's menswear, didn't it? Sorry no.

My sister-in-law was downtown yesterday and kept coming across people staring up at buildings!!!

Particularly around Church Street and little Blackburn Road!!!

I wonder why??

Acrylic-bob · 17-08-2004, 08:07

That deserves a coconut- brilliant Darby, just brilliant!

I think the sign is above the old pet shop, church street.

It would be nice if it were, then I could award you the coconut. But, sadly, it isn't.

Acrylic-bob · 20-08-2004, 07:34

Ok it's clear that none of you are going to get this one, so I suppose I will have to eat the coconut myself. I'm never going to loose weight at this rate, and me with the dicky ticker!

What? Oh! you want to know where it is. Well, if you have a wander along Blackburn Road in a roughly western direction from the Town Hall, you will find a rather elegant parade of shops on the southern side of the road between the Yorkshire Bank and HSBC. In one of these shops the Accrington Observer and Times had their offices. If you look up to the left of their former premises you will see the object in question together with the answer to another puzzle pic. I told you it was cheeky.

Hey A-B, I wish you would talk "left and right" instead of "North and South" etc, cos I aint a clue which direction you mean sometimes

Acrylic-bob · 20-08-2004, 08:50

The Sun sets over Blackburn, that is West anything on your right is North, anything on your left is south. and anything behind you is East. It's a rough guide but it works.

Failing that, find yourself a handy forest and examine the tree trunks. The side that moss grows on faces North.

I only got back into town today after a very wet and windy few days in Carnforth and found it at the side of Accrington Observer offices/shop! You've given it away now though so I don't feel so triumphant in having found it but here's my photo anyway!
