Think a bit more in a northerly direction, and any fisherman must have seen this building :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Only Bayleaf's mystery gates left Link to Bayleaf's Gates Another challenge comes to mind here Stuart0742's last mystery location featured a 1930 dated stone and DaveH's a 1935 stone. There must be many buildings in or around Sheffield with stones like this, for example that funny little arcade between Leopold Street and Fargate that opened in 1987 has a fairly high and prominent dated stone saying, well, 1987. The Challenge, Can we find dated stones in the area for every year from the present back as far as goodness knows when? We don't particularly need pictures for this, just a list by year of the building name and location. One rule, For those people who like walking around old cemetries, monumental headstones and gravestones are not allowed,- that's cheating and makes it far too easy.
