I know where it is (I think) but would be cheating if I answered so will abstain.

So only wild random guesses are allowed?

Could be here for a long time!

Nope. The reason I think I know where it is makes me answering a cheat.

Yes. Aire Sculpture Trail. Octopussy is the first of a series of cast-iron sculptures installed as part of a new Sculpture Trail.

@ JenM

If it's in England, I think the style of building might put it on the east coast, from Lincolnshire north? A port, presumably.

King's Lynn fishrack

JenM · « **Reply #5634 on:** 18 September, 2013, 05:55:16 pm »

Steph - you are correct

Peter · « **Reply #5635 on:** 19 September, 2013, 12:33:37 am »

I'll settle for that; King's Lynn is north of quite a bit of Lincolnshire!

Torslanda · « **Reply #5636 on:** 19 September, 2013, 08:32:32 am »

Any guesses for this one?

It is most definitely NOT Lincolnshire...

And no to all of those.

Torslanda · « **Reply #5645 on:** 24 September, 2013, 12:17:39 am »

It isn't the UK and it isn't, surprisingly, in Eastern Europe.

France.

Peter · « **Reply #5646 on:** 24 September, 2013, 12:51:30 am »

Correct!

Deano · « **Reply #5647 on:** 30 September, 2013, 09:15:39 pm »

Is it the French end of le Chunnel?
