Guest Belgian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I didn't mean that you should apologise, just that the gruesome details would make you feel, well, "uncomfortable", or like you were kicked in the nuts . . .!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up normally today (hurrah!) Time for a clue? That's Not where they built the prototype of Bachmann's latest effort on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 9, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Having trawled through all the Park Farms on the map gazetteer (very popular name... ) found this one is near Eastwwod - unsure of the Bachmann connection though (some reference to Nottingham not Derby?)

Guest Belgian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes, that's why "Not" had a capital N, and Derby(shire) is where the Compound was built. The county boundary appears on the right of the square. You got it! Do you think this is where Eastwood Town (my favourite RMweb thread) is based (not, again)?

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 9, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Finding it difficult to get a duck in a square - and I have a feeling some people have bookmarked all of them! Best I can do is this half duck - which may have a "healthy glow"... Edited October 9, 2011 by Ramblin Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm sure ducks aren't compulsory - none of the early squares had them! JE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm sure ducks aren't compulsory - none of the early squares had them! I hope not, because this one's just flown away! http://www.streetmap...96045&A=Y&Z=120 It's just south of Ravenglass, on the Esk estuary. The "healthy glow" reference, as I suspected, referred to a nuclear facility, and sure enough, this (now deceased!) duck is just a quack away from Sellafield. Now, just give me a moment to find a new square to post. First, I need to get over the shock of getting one right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Right, I've got one. It's hard to find one with some clues, but not too many. I think it's fair to say that there used to be a station at the level crossing, and that the car park might be worth remembering... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there seems to be a few differences between Streetmap & the OS site - definitely there on OS! And the "healthy glow" is one of Mr Burns' lines from The Simpsons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium dagrizz Posted October 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2011 The latest square is Alrewas in Staffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium dagrizz Posted October 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've found another duck, it's near a main line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The latest square is Alrewas in Staffs. Well spotted. My clue, such as it was, about the car park being worth remembering, referred to the fact that it's the car park for the National Memorial Arboretum, which is well worth a visit.

Guest Belgian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Quite took me by surprise when I stumbled across this, near Coventry, on the western by-pass. You might stumble across this one more quickly than you expect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Quite took me by surprise when I stumbled across this, near Coventry, on the western by-pass. I lived in the square to the North for 8 years and didn't recognise it!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I lived in the square to the North for 8 years and didn't recognise it!! As a matter of interest Bulleidboy, if you lived "oop north" (as Coventry is to Southerners) are you an ex-patriot of these Southern shores by your evident admiration of the Great Man's beautiful air-smoothed creations?

trisonic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 How do you "grab" a Single square? i can't seem to do it - is it because I'm in the 'States? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 How do you "grab" a Single square? i can't seem to do it - is it because I'm in the 'States? Best, Pete. Possibly! If you go to this OS website you can zoom in and out to navigate. When you find an area to use, zoom in till you get the size squares we use in this thread. centre your square, approximately, then right click on it. You will then get a drop down menu, and go to the last item "View page info". Click it and open the second tab "Media". Click on the top address line and then go down the addresses until your chosen square appears. Save the square to a new directory and name it (a name you know but not of the place name of your square, as it will appear on your posting). give it a .png suffix. Then go back to RMweb "One Square" and in the reply box click "More reply options". Browse to find your file, click "Attach This File" and then it will appear in the bar above. Click "Add to Post" and it will appear in your message. That's it, except when showing you've found it and want 4 squares do the same but zoom out once from the 1 square size to have 4square size files.

RMweb Premium dagrizz Posted October 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2011 Clue - in the square to the east, the railway crosses a four-letter river. It's quite a significant river channel at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Clue - in the square to the east, the railway crosses a four-letter river. It's quite a significant river channel at this point. Thanks for the clue - it helped me to realise that I recognise this one; its just to the East of Goole Bridge over the River Ouse. For a bit of extra info, the duck is on Saltmarshe Delph!
