Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

The pub was built in 1798 and the Lancaster canal there in 1800. Maybe the road was built in 1794?

I didn't pick up on the capital G*** in "one of you Guys"... Guys Thatched Hamlet!



*** Which was particularly daft because I DID notice the one in Great (Eccleston)!

Who would have thought there were so many ....Ecclestons. I did think the other ones were a bit far south, and annoyed I didn't see Great Eccleston when looking for electric pilons....

I was wondering where you'd been hiding Colin!

Work began on the northern end of the Lancaster canal in 1792ish and bridge work (particularly the lune aqueduct) began in 1794 according to Wiki, so I picked that year for this 'hill' which is in fact the rise to a canal bridge. Dunno where you got 1800 from?

I figured that along with looking east of Eccleston, and the pylons, putting the canal into the equation would help narrow it down even further.

I don't think anyone picked up on Guys, first dropped on Wednesday afternoon... "All i can say is... one of you Guys is warmer than the other." when whatsisface mentioned the top of a marquee

That was the obvious one on a zoomed out map of the area...

I figured you'd have all gone directly to the one nearest to Lancaster

that is true, but I don't think OS have come up with a map symbol for oversized table umbrellas

Aargh - another day bites the dust...

I'm not sure what the 1794 was, but HERE (at last) is the road!

Looking too far south for me, to the east of one of the other Ecclestones

No but Guy's Thatched Hamlet is quite clear on GG maps

There was something about following the ninth doctor, so I was looking for Tennents.

 

[ColinJ]

Ok - here is my next one then...

I think you should find it pretty straightforward. If I am wrong and it takes you longer than expected, here is some background music to entertain you...

Would going back to my roots be a clue that the road is in the midlands rather than yorks/lancs?

The Lamont Dozier original is better.
