  • Clue: near to a spot made famous by Willoughby and Frobisher

  • You're on a tagzumping roll

  • What was the previous one, oat?

  • It’s all about the journey to the tag(zump)

  • ^^Well that would be telling :)
    I'll say more about it after

  • I passed this recently and noticed the name. It sounds like the type of place Mojique might plant devices.

  • I still don’t understand what Bonnie Tyler has to do with the tag on Cowper’s Court.

    Things moved fast today! But if you are still wondering, it's "turn around, Bright Eyes". If you were facing the tag before and turned around, you'd be looking at Cowper's Court.

    I am sad enough to have recognised the tiles, but I didn't get off my arse in time to get the tag.

  • Oooh alright. Definitely not thinking laterally enough then. Thanks for the explanation!

  • Tagged the new one this afternoon, then forgot to follow it up as I was having too much fun riding about.

  • Bugger of a headwind first thing this morning.

  • I'm sure that if I go to get it during lunch break someone will have bagged it by the time I get to it.

  • Old: Free Trade Wharf, from the Thames Path side.

    Excuse the lack of wide angle

    Stepping into this Place feels like finding a huge built-in Wardrobe in your flat.

  • CS Lewis? Forget that, I was not being literal enough.

  • OLD: Wardrobe Place.

  • You'll have to hunt for it, maybe make a chart. Even then you might end up in hot water.

  • Got it. FPWM.

  • Wardrobe as in the wardrobe of the king I believe.

  • ^^That's the first time I've seen a clue to one of my own tags that I don't get.

  • Ha! It's what the statue in your picture is.

  • Mine was Free Trade Wharf, a 1980s apartment block next to Free Trade Wharf, older converted warehouses built by East India Company, the rejected tag :)

    A bold claim perhaps, but I think this is where a major fire started in 1794, destroying the surrounding area then known as Ratcliffe. It is said to be the largest fire London experienced between the Great Fire of London and the Blitz.

    I think several things point to the tag's location. It started at a barge builder at 'Cock Hill' - [note Cockhill wharf on the map]. It then ignited a barge carrying Saltpetre (potassium nitrate) which then set the Saltpetre warehouse itself on fire. The Free Trade Wharf built in the early 1800's is referred to here as being formerly a Saltpetre warehouse. (Upside down:)

    It then spread north and eastwards along what is now the Highway (then the Ratcliffe Highway, or Broad Street on the map) until it reached the west part of Narrow Street.

    The rescue effort was also worth a read.
