Puzzle 24

1 Attachment(s)

Not quite the Dreaming Spires of Oxford, but it will have to do. Of which building is this an adornment?

The correct answer will net the observant puzzler a cool 10 Grand in Ackers.

Think I've lived away too long, and I obviously wasn't that observant when living there...poor me I'll never win any Ackers:o

Take a wild guess, fibi. It's not about being right, really, it's more about having a bit of fun!:D

Oakhill Park? (ducks and runs from possible flying acorns)

Re: Puzzle 24

Willow, do flying acorns give you the runs?

Look you two I've got FWS and it's very stressy I can tell you. I've had to contend with upwards of 76 latex balloons this morning. :p

Up the back end of Oakhill Park where that bit of Hollins Lane comes to and end?

Oh I see, adding rubber to the list now. :eek: Does Busman know what he is letting himself in for ?

No, of course it isn't at the back end of Oakhill Park, it's nowhere near Oakhill Park.

Re: Puzzle 24

St John's Baxenden is late 19th century gothic revival. The building in the picture is almost a hundred years older - and isn't in Baxenden.

Is it on the back of the Dunkenhalgh A-B?

Re: Puzzle 24

I am not entirely sure whether it ever had a function or whether it was intended to be purely decorative. But it isn't on a pub and it isn't attached to the Dunkenhalgh.

Re: Puzzle 24

Hurrah! it is, as Uncle Mick says, situated at the east end of that delightful eighteenth century edifice at the heart of our town centre, St.James' Church. Well spotted!

Re: Puzzle 24

Well fancy that! How many times must I have seen that without noticing it? I was even at the opticians right next to there this afternoon. Says a lot for my new glasses doesn't it? :D
