Prestongrange Museum ?

 

Whether or not it's correct, that's a great call.

 

Edit: And a quick check shows that it is indeed correct. Nice one!

It was the brick wall that looked familiar as I have driven passed it loads of times but haven't stopped to see the museum. I suppose I should now :) 

Google Earth is a godsend mind you :thumbsup:

Perhaps the "Where is this?" thread should negotiate discounts with the visitor attractions that appear on its pages. ;)

 

Coming from a family with several generations of miners as ancestors (albeit in south west Scotland), it looks as if it would make an interesting visit.

I have visited the Mining Museum at Newtongrange and found it interesting but not outstanding but that was years ago and it has maybe improved since with more to see.

You're right, that would probably the better of the "Granges" for someone interested in mining history to visit. Cheers. I must do it some time!

26 North Road,

Lerwick

Close enough :rofl:

 

If I was being pedantic, I would've held out for "The Toll Clock Shopping Centre" :D

 

Rapid point goes to Boof :thumbsup:

Joke's on me. :D I was sure, incorrectly as it turned out, that I had seen something before where you professed to being from the Northern Isles.

 

My memory's going!

No and no.

I think I've searched every war memorial in the world looking for this, I must have missed one!
