Puzzle 3

This one is a bit easier. It has not been used for years and is now almost derelict, but what is the connection between this shop and transport?

The correct answer will win you...

Re: Puzzle 3

I'm only hazarding a guess here, so it's probably wrong. Was this place some sort of ticket office for the trains????

I know the location is next to the gold shop on Blackburn Road...... and the only link with Transport that I can think of is......it is close to the bridge that the railway line runs on.
