Puzzle 4

This one should get you all scratching your heads.

This is the Town Hall in Accrington. Nothing remarkable there you might think. But look again, there is something missing!

Tell me what it is and you can win...

1000 MONEY!

First guess is a sign on the side wall?

One of those metal cages round the tree that hasn't got a metal cage round it.

HBC Civil Servants aren't outside picketing for a pay increase that is MOST remarkable.

Re: Puzzle 4

Way to go Doug!

I thought that this one would run and run. Yes, there used to be a door in the side. Any ideas when it was blocked up?

Re: Puzzle 4

Are you sure? Might it not have been something that HBC's contractors should have done but somehow forgot about.

Re: Puzzle 4

Bob you asked in your question "But look again, there is something missing!". You did not asked what used to be there so I think Doug should not get the cash but Willow, Steveo and myself as we gave you what we consider to be the correct answers of what is missing.

Re: Puzzle 4

I beg to differ Bagpuss the door was missing and the question was answered in that vain........It's what A-B had in mind when he posted the question. There use to be a street sign on the wall but that was not what A-B identified. You could also argue that the town Hall also had Clocks set to the corner windows, there missing too but the most obvious thing to be missing to those that would remember is the side door....I'm more than happy for A-B to reconsider his award in light of your protest. But you should be playing in the sprite of the game. I’ve been knocked back loads of times but I’m always happy to have a go even though I haven’t lived back home for donkeys years….
