Deliciously creamy sandstone. You can win...
1000 Ackers for the location. 1000 Ackers if you can tell me what the building was originally constructed as 2000 Ackers if you can tell me the date of construction. |
Re: Puzzle 12
Corner of Cannon street and Eagle Street, Probably as a Sunday School.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
The Register Office, formerly Mechanics Institute, built 1878 ?
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Unless it's the Manchester & Liverpool Bank in Eagle St, now some kind of pensioner's club but I have no idea when that was built
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Are all the buildings there made of the same materials, because that looks just like the building in Puzzle 10?
|
Re: Puzzle 12
There are a lot of town centre buildings made of the same stone.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
entwisi wins the location prize.
Willow wins the original use prize. It is the former Manchester and Liverpool Bank building at the corner of Eagle Street and Cannon Street. Any one care to try for the date? |
Re: Puzzle 12
pure guess, 1898
|
Re: Puzzle 12
I'll try 1885 - I have a feeling there's a date on the building but I did say I wasn't going out tomorrow.............
|
Re: Puzzle 12
1878 or 1891 if we are guessing, Willow will get there before me so lets have another guess 1880 before I go.

Re: Puzzle 12
Tried having a quick look this morning(at 6AM) whilst on my way to work. Couldn't see a date stone at first look. There are some stones on the cannon street facade with letters in them( Can't remember what they were now I'm at my desk). Anyone care to exapnd what they are?
|
Re: Puzzle 12
1858...............
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Have you forgotten this one AB, is Willow correct ?
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Hey yes, I'd forgotten! Do I get the Ackers???
|
Re: Puzzle 12
He must be really busy working on a Christmas quiz with maybe a massive 50000 ackers as the prize.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Oh please A-b can I have some Ackers please????
|
Re: Puzzle 12
There is considerable tangle of dates for this building, which will take me a few days to get sorted out - much delving into old maps etc. But I wil get to the bottom of it and I will let you know the result as soon as I can. In the meantime - keep guessing.

Re: Puzzle 12
I was going off the plaque on the building itself.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Ahh yes, but which bit of the building, there's the rub.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
The plaque which says it was built as the Manchester and Liverpool Bank.
|
Re: Puzzle 12
Ermm, it was all built as the Manchester and Liverpool Bank, but at different times, hence the confusion.
