Puzzle 24

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.

Re: Puzzle 24

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

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

Re: Puzzle 24

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.

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

Re: Puzzle 24

Oh I see, adding rubber to the list now. 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.

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.
