Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Beats me where that came from!! But it's not right.

shreddies
underpants (often with a pejorative inference to the effect that the said garment is in well-worn or torn condition).

Thanks for that! The answer does happen to be the name of a station in Wales though!

It can't be Llwyngwril (GWR; plus a "lllinyw" mish-mash which might, heaven knows how, somehow equate to "my Shreddies") -- but hopefully, the posting of it will lay it to rest !

You're bang on the right track but just got slightly derailed.

Bishopstone ?

Bishopstone ?

Checkmate, your turn...

 

[Loppylugs]

Let's stick with the chess theme.

There's a monument here but the Queen's headed off.

 

[D6130]

Charing Cross?

 

[Loppylugs]

Charing Cross?

Sorry, not Charing Cross. I think I should add that after the Queen's headed off there is an anagram involved.

 

[Loppylugs]

Let's revise the clue slightly. Clues later if necessary. Had to make it fiendish to keep the experts on their toes!

This monument is shaken around after the Queen heads off.

I think we're all struggling - another clue?

March? Marble Arch - Lebra (Queen Lebra of Assyria). I didn't make it up - honest.

You are working on the right lines. It is not a specific monument.

Chapelton? = anagram of cenotaph + l (Lizzie's head)

 

[Loppylugs]

Chapelton? = anagram of cenotaph + l (Lizzie's head)

That's very good but not the one I'm after. Think of a Queen who lost her head.

London Marylebone?

 

[Loppylugs]

London Marylebone?

Not Marylebone. I must say I'm chuffed that this has lasted nearly 24 hours !

 

[RobertsN]

Could I attempt a rather tongue-in-cheek "Maryland". As in when Mary's head lands it will disturb the land around it?

Anniesland

after Queen Anne Boleyn, the second of King Henry VIIIs wives.

She must have had a big head @RobertsN !

Time for more clues.

1) Find a type of monument. There are lots in this country (including one in the town where the station is situated).
2) The Queen was not English, but pretty well-known nevertheless.
3) After a monument is sussed, as quoted the Queen not only lost her head but also heads off, so her name is removed from the type of monument.
4) Shake up the remaining letters and you have the station.

Fiendishly simples !!

Anniesland

Not Anniesland I'm afraid.

If you take a War Memorial, and remove the letters MARIE, after Marie Antoinette, the remaining letters can be rearranged to form Marlow.

Ardlui?

 

[duncanp]

Yes Ardlui is the correct answer.

I thought the clue would last longer than that.
