Re: Puzzle 21
OOoooh now I'm being educated because if it's where I think it is then I always thought it was. I'm off to get my dowsing rods now and find out what it connects to.

Re: Puzzle 21
A quick and easy way to have a look at what runs where is to have a look at the Mario site...
http://mario.lancashire.gov.uk/ Once you have zoomed into the required part turn on the historic maps and choose the transparent one which will show you the 1845 map on top of the current map it's a bit skewed but accurate enough for most purposes.
