The Answer

A few days ago I posed a question as to the whereabouts of a compass embedded in stonework that many people would walk past without even noticing. Well the answer is that it is directly outside the front entrance to the Town Hall. This picture taken today but looking in the same direction to the north shows the Town Hall, Sir John Warren and The Scala cinema on the left with Burr Lane directly in front and the Moon and Sixpence with the old Fountain and Horse Trough to the right.


It would have been easier to locate the compass had the inscription which records the opening of the Market Place improvements in September 1995 been legible - but I didn't want to make it too easy for you.
