Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
Looks like you are on the right track now but what about :-
Name all the uses that 1 & 2 have been used for over the years?
I suppose there will be people around who still unsure of where this is so to keep the suspense going, here's another 1.

What about the various uses #1 has been put to over the years?

Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
Of course, a major feature has been missing from this picture and had I included it, the world and his wife would have got the answer. What is the main feature missing from this picture?

Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
It could be the famous viaduct!
Ah yes, there it is.
There are still unanswered questions although the experts are still trying to ID whether there was a slaughterhouse in location 2.

Re: #3 Double Pic Quiz
The slaughterhouse (abbatoir) was just going up Hyndburn Road, probably just past where the cinema complex is now Morecambe, see here:-
