Actually I'm going to award the prize to Yerself, who first recognised the location, if not the actual building.

It is in fact the roof of the Groundkeepers building. A sort of glorified potting shed.

Re: Puzzle 9

I thought it was the crematorium at first because it does have similar slates on the roof but went up there to have a look this dinner time and saw the loose slate! Definitely saw the word "ladies" in that vicinity.

They may now use part of it to accomodate the personal hygiene needs of the female population. But the majority of it is, as stated, part of the groundsmen's domain. In former years there were greenhouses behind the fences surrounding it.

What about me getting full marks A-b? As usual, I had to drive the "resident waffler" up there!

Re: Puzzle 9

It was your mention of Peel Park that got my mind wandering up that end of town but somebody else wandered to the right location quicker than I did!
