Geocache Description:


The first in what I hope will be a short series relating to Nailsea's history.

**The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates**
(The final location was moved, and the formula and hint changed on 5th August 2015)

Find the location of the Glassworker shown in the image on the left, the walk from the painting to the final location will take you past the site of the now demolished glassworks.

* There are four words in the name of the business which "hosts" the glassworker in the image - number of letters in the 3rd word = A

* Number of letters in the middle name of the founder of Nailsea Glassworks = B

* The year Nailsea Glassworks originally opened = 178C

* The year Nailsea Glassworks finally closed = 187D

* The number of letters in the name of the supermarket which now stands on part of the site of the glassworks = E


The cache is at : N 51° 26.(A-E)E(D*2) W 002° 44.(D+E)(A-D)(A-B)
