A return to the occasional “spot the location” quiz this weekend, with guest quiz-master Chippy Minton.
This week’s theme is Signs, and I’ve been out and about to see what I could find. Four photos this week – and a chance for a Chippy Bonus Point hidden somewhere (but I won’t tell you where, as then it wouldn’t be hidden).
Picture Number 1
This is right on the edge of Chandlers Ford – but not as far away as Moscow
Picture Number 2
Hmm, where could this be? Dose of culture? Club for Thespians? It could be karma!
Picture Number 3
I’ve obliterated the name on this sign as it would give it away. But what was opened on the 10th June 1983? And what images also appear on the sign?
Picture Number 4
This may be a link to my next set of quiz questions. Which shop (now sadly departed) was this the logo for?
What fun pictures. Sadly I don’t really know the answers to any except No 3, the library, which I got from Googling! Someone else might know what pictures.
No 1 might be a sign near the Stoneham development?
Looking forward to hearing the answers.
Cheers Mary
No 3 isn’t the library! Though if the library were opened the same day, I guess it would have been as part of the same visit by the MEP.
Yes, No 1 is near the Stoneham development. There are actually at least two of these signs around the Stoneham Lane / Chestnut Avenue junction.
As Mary says, no. 3 is the Library; no. 2 is on Hursley Road outside the Ritchie Hall on the Chameleon Theatre sign. I will have to think about no. 1 and no. 4!
Not the library! Correct on no 2.
No. 1 is, as has been stated already, at the development on Stoneham Lane/Chestnut Avenue, opposite The Cricketers.
The others I have no idea on, sadly.
Here are the answers:
1) is near the Stoneham development at Stoneham Lane / Chestnut Avenue. There are, I think, a number of delivery areas, one of which is “red square”.
2) is the sign for the Chameleons Theatre at Ritchie Hall, Hursley Road. This picture was also the source of the hidden clue, with a hidden mention of the 80s band Culture Club and a hint towards their hit “karma Chameleon”. Sorry. No one seemed to notice this – or if anyone did it was treated with the contempt it deserved.
3) is not the library, as a few people thought. It’s Templars Way, running from the Asda roundabout to Knightwood. The missing images are the crests of Eastleigh and Test Valley borough councils. Eastleigh on the left (Test Valley side) and Test Valley on the right (Eastleigh side).
4) is the logo for Peter Hansford Cycles, until recently in Hursley Road.
