This is a multi-cache for The Lost Pubs #27 The Fishponds Tavern, which has now been made into a house, painted white and black. The windows and the front access to the old beer cellar, are the only things that are a gentle reminder of the Tavern it once was. The series Skins was filmed here as Uncle Keith’s Pub Effy's Tavern.
The above co-ordinate is for the Lost Pub. To find the final cache co-ordinate you must gather a few facts at this location, as follows:
A.B. What is the house number of the old pub?
.C. What is the number of the black lamp-post next to the old pub?
.D. How many doors to the beer cellar?
E.F.G.H. What is the number on the metal water cover in the road, in front of the old pub?
.I. How many letters in the name of the Road where the old pub is located?
.j. On the main door at the corner is a lion, what is its use? Record how many letters in this one word answer?
.K. How many letters in the name of the Road opposite the old pub?
Substitute the letters for the numbers from your answers below and do the calculations, to find the cache co-ordinate:
N51 (I - K) (A + C) . (J - H) ( E ) ( I ) W002 (E - G) ( J / K) . (D - F) (E - B) ( A )
Co-ordinate checksum = 37
If you would like to expand this series the pub in question must meet this criteria: The pub must be closed and no longer able to operate as a pub again. Eg. The pub has been knocked down, turned into flats or a supermarket, etc. The pub does not qualify if it is just closed or boarded up as it can still be used for its purpose and therefore not "lost" just unavailable at present. If the location meets this criteria please contact evesy101 for its unique number and adding to the database.
