While out walking our Geopuppy Morgan during our permitted lock-down exercise during the Covid-19 pandemic we came here to Quarry Hill Nature Reserve, most of you local Geocacher's will remember there were two caches here until October 2018 when they were archived, they were the first two I found back here after being introduced to Geocaching by my sister and nephews back home in June 2016. I then took my husband Dave along with me and he too got hooked. So I thought as I used to lived in a special town for a majority of my life before moving here that I would introduce you all to it via a puzzle cache.
I moved to Lancashire in 2003 from The World's First Garden City. To get the coordinates for GZ you will need to first find out where I lived most of my childhood and early adult life and then find the answers to the following questions or you can do the jigsaw puzzles to revel the required digit
1 - The railway station was opened in ??J?
2 - Not only was this town The World's First Garden City it was also where the UK's first Roundabout was created. What year was this H??B
3 - Back in 1989 my first ever job was in The Spirella Building, by then it was no longer a corset manufacturer but split into units. You'll need to find out what year, building of The Spirella Building begun ??FG

5 - My parents live on The Grange Estate in the same house my grandparents used to live before they passed away, this house has now been in my Father's side of the family for over 50 yrs, but there are two other estates in the town, The Lordship Estate and The Jackmans Estate. I lived on The Jackmans Estate for 8 yrs before moving up here to Lancashire. What year did they start to build The Jackmans ???E
