Not Lar-de Dars. Surprisingly, it is quite a prominent building.

I know I've seen those curly bits so it's really frustrating me.

YES, well done! Cazzer wins the first bit of the puzzle and 2000 Ackers. But Cazzer does not have a bank account so I cannot tranfer the funds.

He certainly was. To prove it, if you look at the Blackburn road elevation you can just about make out the name from the staining on the granite where the old bronze letters were. Well done everyone!
