Were you thinking of Appley Bridge?

Appleford was the correct answer, the clue doesn't work properly in my mind for Appley Bridge

I have no idea how I managed to misread Appley Bridge. I am due for an eye test some time in the next month or so and it won't be a second too soon.

The next clue is,

in answer to the question: 'there his is, in front of the car'

No, sorry.

The answer obatined from the clue should lead you to the answer, hence the wording 'should hint to this', though I should have used lead rather than hint on reflection.

Could this be Hull Paragon? Departure point of Philip Larkin on a warm Saturday in Whitsuntide in his poem The Whitsun Weddings. (Would never have got it without that last clue! :lol:)

Open Floor if correct.
