SteveHB Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Bayleaf and bus man share the prize. It's Whirlowbrook Hall built 1906, in Whirlowbrook Park, 39 acres of public park land. One of the former homes of Industrialist Sir Walter Benton-Jones (1880-1967) Now used for weddings, parties, meetings and conferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Due to computer / ISP / server problems I am a little out of touch with this thread. As far as I can tell there is only the "Sheffield Building Society" picture in the previous post by Stuart0742 which is still current. To kick start the mystery location a bit and get it going again here is one of the easier ones again. Using Stuarts "look upwards" rule, where is this porthole in a high wall?
