Yup. Passing through the other year it actually looked a very pleasant place.

[Buttsy]

Ely??

 

[Meridian richard]

Of course

Have we had that one before. It rung a bell after I submitted it

 

[Buttsy]

I hadn't seen it, put it that way, but that's teh sort of clue I'm good at spotting in cryptic crosswords

Ding dong, open wide

 

[ValleyLines142]

Belle Vue?

 

[Buttsy]

Belle Vue?

No, sorry

 

[ValleyLines142]

No, sorry

Is it bell something? :P

 

[Buttsy]

No, sorry, it's not anything directly bell related

 

[ValleyLines142]

No, sorry, it's not anything directly bell related

Stir parts around and it becomes salty

 

[ls2270]

Stalybridge.

 

[Seacook]

Stalybridge.

No, that's not it.

 

[DaveHarries]

Stir parts around and it becomes salty

Stirling?

Dave

 

[Seacook]

Stirling?

Dave

No. IS2270 had the right idea but missed the target. Think about what was not referenced in his answer. Stir for the first half of Stirling would not be cryptic and there is nothing to suggest 'ling'.

 

[Buttsy]

I'm sure it's an anagram of becomes salty, but I can't work it out...

 

[Trainfan344]

Combe, stir parts around and its become.

 

[Buttsy]

Combe, stir parts around and its become.

I was thinking along those lines, but where's the other 'e'?
