Valletta, Malta?

Deano · « **Reply #5651 on:** 30 September, 2013, 09:40:11 pm »

Nope. Not Nepal.

Nor Malta.

Not India Gate. Not India at all...

Is it in Legoland?

Deano · « **Reply #5656 on:** 01 October, 2013, 10:24:18 pm »

Correct!

Deano · « **Reply #5657 on:** 01 October, 2013, 10:39:08 pm »

Not really.

Small clue: Henry Morton Stanley's name is down and to the right a bit.

So, south of the equator in Africa...

Deano · « **Reply #5659 on:** 01 October, 2013, 10:53:45 pm »

You may think that.

Funny, I thought this would have been nabbed quite quickly.

Near Skipton?

Deano · « **Reply #5661 on:** 01 October, 2013, 11:04:34 pm »

Not particularly close to Skipton, no.

Is it in the ancient city of Persepolis in Iran? There is supposed to be some graffiti by him there. My wife's family is distantly related to Dave Livingstone and my real family name is Rowlands (my dad was adopted). The male line comes from North Wales, very near to where Stanley, whose real name was John Rowlands, was "brought up" in a workhouse. So quite possibly I'm related to Stanley and my wife to Livingstone. My elder brother's first names are John and Rowlands.

Sorry if I'm wrong anyway!

That's it, Peter. The Gate of all Nations in Persepolis, which was graffitied by passing travellers for yonks after its rediscovery.

It's graffiti?! Things have got a bit more untidy since those days.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #5666 on:** 02 October, 2013, 10:12:19 am »

No spray paint back then. Hammer and chisel, the tools of the true graffitist.

Try this:-

Although you're riding the Paulson I'm guessing it's not Knutsford. (Mainly because you didn't take any photos that day)

Is it somewhere on the Tees 'n Cake?

Torslanda · « **Reply #5669 on:** 16 October, 2013, 12:35:46 am »

BTW for those who are interested, the concrete edifice was the Faculty of Medicine in Caen.

An absolute colossus in concrete . . .

To get that angle it is necessary to first visit the 'Buffalo Grill' adjacent to the dual carriageway.
