(Honest your honour) David Not Forest, Not Wood, but Stone Close to Fields - but one evening too close for comfort! David If no winner by lunchtime, I might have to give the date and time of the particular evening. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seany Posted 15 March , 2011 Share Posted 15 March , 2011 I found it !!! you are at number 10 Stone buildings, Holborne in London which was attacked by a zeppelin that night at that time, as this link below reveals http://awalkinhistory.blogspot.com/2008/05/friday-23rd-may-2008-zeppelin-attack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfaulder Posted 15 March , 2011 Share Posted 15 March , 2011 Last two attempts getting warmer, but only vaguely related to an aeroplane (unless we allow WW2 information - but that would be a red herring as arguably not operational in WW2) "Stone" should keep you grounded.

Well done (to you and Google?), 10 Stone Buildings, depot of the Inns of Court OTC, just off Lincoln's Inn Fields. Your turn. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 15 March , 2011 Share Posted 15 March , 2011 I am confused. Seany appears to have given the correct answer first, but attributed the bomb to a Zeppelin, then David then said 'only vaguely related to an aeroplane' and then Sabine gave the same answer, but attributed the bomb to an aeroplane ...

Ah - the curse of cross-posting - Sorry Seany you reply came in whilst I was composing the 'only vaguely related to an aeroplane' post. Hence my "last two" references should be penultimate and pre-penultimate! Do we let it stand or run two questions at once - I don't see a problem as long as people are clear whose question they are answering! Sorry all - the "devils own" problem!

Seany Posted 16 March , 2011 Share Posted 16 March , 2011 (edited) I think it is the Buttes - New British Cemetery and Australian Memorial at Polygon wood. I know 7 VC's were awarded I know a polygon can be 7 sided I know British and Australians are buried there there is a tenuous link somewhere to the desolation of the place left only to the goats.
