Just name these few places I visited during my recent trip to the UK.
Unlike Boadicea’s demanding quiz this one should be easy for all aboriginals, so easy that perhaps we should limit the answers to those from expats for a few rounds.
Any takers?
Round Britain Quiz -Easy One
Boadicea's Chariot 
#4 Golden Hind Replica In Pickfords Wharf, Clink Street not far from Southwark Cathedral. Good pub right next to it as well.
1 Avesbury
2 stonehenge
Is 9 the Globe?
♫ I know where 10. is. Nyah nhah nye nhah nhah! ♫
OZ
FEEG: 4. Yes Golden Hinde on the Thames, London.
RR: Yes and yes, 1 Avebury Circle and 2 Stonehenge
RR Yes 9. the Globe Theatre South Bank
OZ : Shouldn’t that be Yea, Yea, Yea?
Well, I did say they were easy.
No10 Norwich?
Oi knows where 5. is too Oi do. (Polishes claws on chest)
OZ
I don’t know about easy, LW,
any that I recognised have been answered. I have no idea where the lock is in No. 3, but I’ll guess it’s a canal off the Severn. Stourport, maybe?
Ooh sir! Please sir, LW sir! When can the aboriginals join in?
OZ
Ferret: #10 No
OZ @11: Now if you wish.
Ara: No to Stourport, but I’ll give you a clue about #3. It may be the only lock in Britain that is on the other side of the river from the towpath.
Obrigado, Senhor LW, for loosening the leashes. 10. is the Albert Dock in Liverpool and I do believe 5. was taken inside the Tower of London.
OZ
Ah, I am being very thick, I have been through this lock. It’s Shepperton!
OZ: Two for two 10 is indeed Liverpool and 5 is The Queen’s House in the Tower.
Ara: Right river wrong lock.
Um, I’ll think again!
Yea!
OZ
Teddington is my last attempt, LW!
No, it doesn’t look like Teddington, so I give up!
Ara: Marsh Lock?
Really?
It doesn’t look like it, but I only go there once a month or so! 😦
I left out the fine stone building on the left as being too much of a giveaway. The only lock in England with a bridge to carry the towpath over the river and back.
Ah, you also can’t see the house behind higher up from that angle either! Sneaky, LW, and you should have let me know you were in the area. 🙂
No. 8. Giss a clue.
No. 8 in Oxfordshire? Brill?
Janus PPG: Re; #8 The windmill is the clue, and the right hand house is brick with flint infill, it’s in Bucks.
Number 6 is made from various armaments, guns, bayonets helmets etc and is standing on powder barrels, the picture in thebackground is a big clue.
Number 7 is one of the last medieval protected river crossings in the country, the river is the Monnow.
#6 Would that be a special exhibit in the Royal Armouries in the Tower of London?
FEEG: #6 Royal Armory in the Tower is correct. You should know #8, in the Chilterns not far from Gt. Missenden.
Correction #7 is THE LAST medieval protected river crossing in Britain, the others must have fallen down since I left in 1969.
Hee hee, I’ve just looked at your caption on No.3, LW.
I cannot help but feel that I was totally useless, but here is my view of Marsh Lock!
Ara: Identical right down to the stepladder and the fire extinguishers.
It is, LW, I’m just dreadfully unobservant!
Google reckons 8. could be Cobstone Mill, wot woz a backdrop in scenes from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
OZ
OZ: Google lists a few existing windmills in Bucks, Cobstone is one, but not this one. Cobstone is a black and white painted smock mill this one is an all black smock mill, this ‘un is close by the big towns of Wardrobes and Parslow’s Hillock, and what about that number 7 then?
7. is the bridge at Monmouth – some river or other….. 🙂
Janus: #7 C’reck One might expect the Mon but in fact it is the Monnow.
Thanks All: Number 8 is the windmill at Lacey Green in Bucks. Included because I like the name of the village, it would be a delight to have an address like “Lacey Green”.
Never heard of it! Was that the easy one? 🙂
Janus: Of course. The oldest smock windmill in Britain (1650) built when “windmill” was not a dirty word.
