Geocache Description:

This is a quick, walkable with pushchair, multi-cache with four stages to find giving co-ords to the final cache location. Overall this should only take about 20mins to complete,
It is designed to teach a little about the bygone days of Greasby Village. Please be very aware of muggles they are in all 4 directions.
CO-ORDS are for the suggested parking place and NOT FOR THE CACHE,

1. N 53.22.572 W 003.07.624 this was the location for Greasby's Old School House. If you look across the road you will some houses that dont match the ones around them, these were built on the school site. There is a house number in black numbers with white background and ends in letter A. Note the first digit and this is clue C. Add both digits together for clue G

2. N 53.22.572 W 003.07.529 across the road is a solicitors office, this was the Original Greasby Library before the Greasby Hospital Site and the current one in the village. You need to find Miliccia and note the numbers. The first digit is clue A and the second digit is B

3. N 53.22.567 W 003.07.439 Opposite this location is the Old Hiring Cross where workers were hired on a daily basis. The cross is dated and the third digit gives clue F. Around the actual cross there are holes but how many? this gives clue H.

4. N 53.22.596 W 003.7.405 You should now be opposite a pub (Intials GD). Behind this pub was the milk yard of the lovely Stan Williams the famous Greasby Milkman. Stan delivered milk on his push bike and it was loaded with more milk than you could imagine (see photos) Count the letters in the first name of the pub this gives clue D and the second name number of letters gives clue E.

The final cache can be found at :-
