Open house Im afraid haven't figured out how to post pictures!!

If you use a computer with photos stored on iti I can help.
If you use tablet or phone, maybe someone else will.

I think we are looking at the replica of the Columbus ship, called Nao Santa Maria.

No idea of location, the home port is listed as Puerto Sherry.

I've been aboard her, in Puerto Sherry.

When you stand on the poop deck, it's quite incredible how small she actually is. I thought that perhaps she might be a half or quarter scale model, but no. To think of sailing around the world aboard such a tiny vessel in those days of very dodgy nav and no charts blew my mind.

It has gone quiet, try this,

[4mastacker]

Is that Raglan Castle?

[om15]

Yes it is, well found, Stacker to issue the next challenge.

[4mastacker]

Thanks OM.

Here's somewhere a damn sight more comfortable than a cold, ruined castle...or the local clink. To be sure.

Looks like a 'digital' creation to me.

[4mastacker]

That didn't occur to me. Here's another view from a slightly different angle.

Should have got that one.
At one time I drove past it most work days.

I really hope the architect and the local planning department are all in jail right now

[4mastacker]

The other place was a residence for people in troubled times.

[Opsboi]

Is it in Ireland?

[4mastacker]

It is.

[Opsboi]

It is.

The only reason I asked was your "To be sure"

Ah, well, that's narrowed it down...

[4mastacker]

Another clue:

Despite its name, the town where this building is located is nowhere near the sea.

[om15]

After looking at every town hall in Ireland I found this.

Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise.

You have it OM.

You have control - I'm off to quality test an Easter egg.

[om15]

Thanks Stacker,
This should be snapped up,

The Beacon, Redcar.

Another municipal folly.

OH.

[om15]

At first I thought that it was a crash site, but as Ian says, an attraction in Redcar.
