Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
A wander along Church Street might be nice, there are some nice shops along there, but it won't help solve the puzzle, sorry.

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
 Grr This is really frustrating me and I'm not going to be able to get on here for the rest of the week. I'll be wondering about it all week now.

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
It would be nice if it were, then I could award you the coconut. But, sadly, it isn't.

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
Ok it's clear that none of you are going to get this one, so I suppose I will have to eat the coconut myself. I'm never going to loose weight at this rate, and me with the dicky ticker!
What? Oh! you want to know where it is. Well, if you have a wander along Blackburn Road in a roughly western direction from the Town Hall, you will find a rather elegant parade of shops on the southern side of the road between the Yorkshire Bank and HSBC. In one of these shops the Accrington Observer and Times had their offices. If you look up to the left of their former premises you will see the object in question together with the answer to another puzzle pic. I told you it was cheeky.

A bit cheeky, this one.
Hey A-B, I wish you would talk "left and right" instead of "North and South" etc, cos I aint a clue which direction you mean sometimes

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
The Sun sets over Blackburn, that is West anything on your right is North, anything on your left is south. and anything behind you is East. It's a rough guide but it works.
Failing that, find yourself a handy forest and examine the tree trunks. The side that moss grows on faces North.

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
I only got back into town today after a very wet and windy few days in Carnforth and found it at the side of Accrington Observer offices/shop! You've given it away now though so I don't feel so triumphant in having found it but here's my photo anyway!

Re: A bit cheeky, this one.
Well done Willow, a consolation coconut is in order I think, and while it is not quite the victor's laurel, it is well earned and does come wrapped in gold style, paper effect, wrapping material. No expense spared here.
My assistant, the lovely Rubella, will be round with it first thing in the morning, always assuming that she can get the moped going, that is. According to a new member, Lampman, the office is still open but with a skeleton staff.
