I actually wanted to hind this somewhere on 'Harrisons Corner' itself but couldn’t find a suitable spot, so I resorted to a hide just over the road. 'Harrisons Corner' was once upon a time probably the best sweet shop the world has ever seen – Me and my mates spent many a happy time spending our pocket money in there as kids. They also did a rather fine line in fishing nets; so in honour of that great British past time, I have stashed this Magnetic Nano just over the road, right next to the canal.
It ceased being a sweet shop at some point in 1980’s and became just what every small village needs – A piano shop...!?
History tells that there was an accident here in the 1940's which demolished most of the building. The accident involved a stolen army truck which careered down Bagley Lane and hit the building itself. These days it’s a barbers shop. The rear wall which can be seen inside is the original stone which suggests that it wasn't a total write off...
Anyway...you are looking for a Magnetic Nano about 4 feet off the ground right on the water front. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that whenever water is nearby you need to be careful, particularly if you have young cachers with you... (I've also noticed in some logs that it can get quite overgrown with thorns at certain times of the year so be careful of those too...)
