Gainsborough Central?

 

[johnnychips]

Exactly. I do apologise for keeping you in suspense earlier, as I thought I’d pressed ‘send’ or ‘post’ to my ‘no sorry’, when I evidently hadn’t.

Anyway, it’s all yours.

Newton-on-Ayr?

 

[Caboose Class]

Newton-on-Ayr?

Sorry, not Newton. The astronomer in question is probably best known for something that happens every 75-76 years. The next time it happens will be in 2061 - so I won't be around to see it!

BTW the "communication" dates from 1964 and is still occasionally used.
