This one should get you all scratching your heads.

This is the Town Hall in Accrington. Nothing remarkable there you might think. But look again, there is something missing!

Tell me what it is and you can win...

1000 MONEY!

HBC Civil Servants aren't outside picketing for a pay increase that is MOST remarkable.
 
Did there not use to be a door their on the side of the Town Hall. Where the first window was?
 
Way to go Doug!

I thought that this one would run and run. Yes, there used to be a door in the side. Any ideas when it was blocked up?
 
Are you sure? Might it not have been something that HBC's contractors should have done but somehow forgot about.
 
Bob you asked in your question "But look again, there is something missing!". You did not asked what used to be there so I think Doug should not get the cash but Willow, Steveo and myself as we gave you what we consider to be the correct answers of what is missing.
 
I beg to differ Bagpuss the door was missing and the question was answered in that vain........It's what A-B had in mind when he posted the question. There use to be a street sign on the wall but that was not what A-B identified. You could also argue that the town Hall also had Clocks set to the corner windows, there missing too but the most obvious thing to be missing to those that would remember is the side door....I'm more than happy for A-B to reconsider his award in light of your protest. But you should be playing in the sprite of the game. I’ve been knocked back loads of times but I’m always happy to have a go even though I haven’t lived back home for donkeys years….
 
I don't recall there ever being a sign on the wall, but there's something else missing too - a bit of paint off that "no entry" sign.

What street sign was it? One for Blackburn Road?

No, I seem to remember it getting vandalised, along with the tree some time back. :)
 
Now now, no arguments please. The decision of the adjudicator (ME) is final. It was the door I was looking for and Doug was the first to come up with the correct answer.

But dont worry, there will be tons more opportunities to win coming up. I have been out and about with the camera snapping furiously, and I have some real Stinkers lined up for you all to loose sleep over. And maybe even Bigger Prizes too! It is good that some of you have mentioned little things, like street signs though,because I am going to be doing some "doctored" puzzle Pics too.
 
I wasn't talking about a street sign but the one that said "RIX WAS HERE", sorry Doug I was only messing about I had no idea that there used to be a side door.

No problem Bagpuss, I've seen a picture in the last month or two that shows the door in situ along with a sign saying "Broardway" and clocks in the windows....I'll try and remember where I've seen it and post it.
 
A sign saying "Broadway"? But Broadway is round the other side.

I do hope you can show us the pic with the door. Like Bagpuss I had no idea there used to be a door there but if I see it it may just jog my memory.
