Geocache Description:


** The container is not at the published coordinates **

These are at the location of the former Marshall-Fowler Ltd Sprotbrough Works (AKA 'The Tank Factory'). The foundry was opened by the Ministry of Supply in 1943 to manufacture tank track links.

(In the first photo, the road at the bottom is Melton Rd/Sprotbrough Rd, the railway line arcing from centre bottom to centre right is now part of the Trans-Pennine Trail and Cusworth Hall can be seen top-left)

The final location can be found by completing a puzzle


This online Jigsaw-based puzzle, uses a slightly trickier image than our first, but has fewer pieces so shouldn't prove to be much of a 'Challenger'.


A handful of years ago, we enjoyed a fantastic holiday in a hot and sunny Dorset. One of the week's highlights (at least for Mr MW & son...), was a visit to the Tank Museum at Bovington, a few miles inland from Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast.
The picture below and the background image
are two of many, taken of the exhibits during our visit.
