Geocache Description:

When I first had the geocaching hobby explained to me I was told it was about finding areas of interest and learning about local history. As time has gone on it seems to have become more about the numbers and getting the smily faces. So I'm returning to my geocaching roots and hiding caches around the listed buildings of Leeds. If anyone wants to add to the Listed Leeds series then feel free, after all I need to boost my numbers too. ;-)

The Temple Works is a former flax mill a grade I listed building. The designer, James Combe, designed the building front in a Ancient Egyptian style designed to mimic the Temple Of Horus at Edfu. Inside there was, at the time, The largest single room in the world that was 2 acres large. When being used a flax mill the temple works grew actual grass on the roof to help keep the mill humid and stop the flax drying out. This grass was maintained by actual sheep on the roofs that were bought there by an early form of hydraulic lift invented here.

This cache is a simple 1 step multi as I couldn't hide a cache in front of the building due to others caches being to close by :-) The cache is at N53 47.ABC W001 33.DEF. For the info just find the blue plaque at the temple works. 'TEMPLE MILL' is the first line.

A = number of letters of 1st word in 3rd line.

B = number of letters in the 2nd word of the 5th line minus the number of letters in the 3rd work of the 5th line

C = number of letters in the 5th word of the 6th line

D = number of letters in the 2nd word of the 8th line

E = the lowest digit visible from the 10 individual digits on the plaque.

F = the number of letters in the 4th word of the 2nd line.
