Photo Quiz-009
The arrowed building may or may not be standing at the present time. You decide what is in that location at the present time and state its name.
And once more there is 10,000 Ackers to be won. |

Re: Photo Quiz-009
Can't be the hospital, there's no trees on Queens road..
The cooling towers in the background totally confuse me.

Re: Photo Quiz-009
I agree with Lindsay, though the fields and towers dont seem to fit and the land seems to be sloping the wrong way..... hmm but that does resemble the Queens building of Moorhead School on the top right hand side.

Re: Photo Quiz-009
I am reliably informed that the photo was taken from the Coppice about 30 years ago using a 300mm Telephoto lens, thus giving a very foreshortened effect.
The Cooling Towers are on what is now the PC World area at Whirebirk. The original Mount was demolished c1952 and the site remained as a "garden" until the ESMI Unit ( The Mount) was built c1984. The 10,000 Ackers are still up for grabs. |

Re: Photo Quiz-009
I do, but for some reason since the update bank accounts aren't showing up on peoples profiles..... so i dunno whats going on. Plus technically Lindsey got it right first, so she should get the ackers.
