(S) Cryptic Clue

[Acrylic-bob]

It isn't to be found "underneath the spreading chestnut tree", but rather Quercus Robur. What is it and where is it?

Double coconut for this one.

Well considering the origins of the town name............there should be plenty about.

She's a sharp one is that Willow.

Near Oak St?

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Grange Lane?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Keep guessing girls. Remember, the clue is in the question....

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Somewhere round the bottom end of Oak Street seems likely but I just can't visualise it there.

 

[Acrylic-bob]

That's because it isn't. There, that is.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

That gets rid of that but then. Can't imagine it near Oakhill Park either so what does that leave us with?

Sorry, I'm talking to myself, just ignore me................

 

[mez]

i have a feeling its on victoria st (the factory bottoms) as we used to call them ?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Sorry Mez, right industry, wrong location.

 

[mez]

mmmmmmm must have another bit of coconut, might help

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Is it near the old brushworks place?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Where's that luv?

 

[mez]

brush factory up church st accy, but im on a track leading me up laneside, off marlborough rd., there was a cotton mill up there ooo?

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Cotton Street?

 

[Acrylic-bob]

Willow, When Mez gets back from Marlborough Road will you let her know that you are both wrong. Thanks.

.................................

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Right! Got it. It's at the top of Church Street/Cotton Street corner and I think it's part of Broughton Crangrove's factory/warehouse thingy building.

Hmmm, so how does this, sort of, fit in with the, you know, clue thingy, sort of, doodah?
