Puzzle 13

[Acrylic-bob]

Unlucky for some, this should get the brain cells tingling.

2000 Ackers

for the correct and precise location

5000 Ackers

if you can tell me what it was originally constructed as.

 

[Tealeaf]

Registrar Office. Originally built as Mechanics Institute.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Ahh, well, now, you see....No!

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

Not much to go on there A-B......did you lie on your back to get that pic????

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Lar de dars - originally Liberal Club?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

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

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

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

 

[Caz]

Bottom of Eagle St, now the doctors surgery?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

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.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

I think this was originally a bank.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

District Bank?

 

[Busman747]

District Bank?

No Willow, I think it was Martins Bank

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

I think you could be right.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

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!

 

[Busman747]

I've won my first Accy comp YES!!

[WillowTheWhisp]

I have seen the stain!

 

[Acrylic-bob]

There is another tangle of dates and occupants for this building. Your patience while I sort it all out is much appreciated.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Eagerly awaiting the final answer cos I haven't a clue.
