That’s one remarkable house, on Fosseway Lane, Pipehill. I only noticed it in the last few days. Click for a larger version. Imagery from Google Streetview.
The 2013 New Year Quiz has now closed, and we have a winner. The final scores are as follows:
- Fred Butler has 7 points.
- Andy Dennis has 6 points.
- Oakparkrunner has 4 points.
- BrownhillsDavidNotBob has 3 points.
- Grande Pablo has 3 points.
- Emell has 3 points.
- Dave Cottle has 2 points.
- Angela Hodgkinson has 2 points.
- Karen, Tim, Pedro, and Julielem have 1 apiece.
Fred is therefore the overall winner. To Fred, I will arrange a prize of a case of bottled Backyard beer. Please send me an email with your address and we can sort it out.
Similarly, I’ll sort out a prize of a 9 pint Backyard mini-keg to Andy Dennis, for being such a good sport.
I think Emell and Dave Cottle deserve prizes of local history books for their answers. The Vernon Avenue/Great Charles Street 1,000th house plaque was an odd question.
Could winners please send an email to me with their addresses and I’ll sort stuff out. Please use the same email address you answered with. My email is Brownhillsbob at Googlemail dot Com.
To everyone else, I thank you for your participation and for being so up for it. If you fancy, I may do a smaller one over Easter Bank holiday. It seems a good way of getting folk involved.
Happy new year, congratulations to Fred, and thanks for your interest. I like the fact that it’s made folk taking part look a our area just a little bit more closely.
