THE BLACKBURN HUNDRED QUEST
In 2023, for our Centenary Year, we had a competition to see who could answer the quest questions linked below. We have now kept the quest open for 2024 and beyond. Names of those who have correctly answered quest questions can be found in the chart. We have divided the hundred quests into 9 different areas, so hopefully it will be a bit easier to navigate. We’d prefer it if you could submit a few answers as you go along, so we can produce a progress chart, when you see us at the club room or on club rides, or using the contact details below. Note: The quest (for 2024 and beyond) will not count towards supertourist points and instead is purely being kept open for fun
email to anne.s.stott@hotmail.co.uk or to anthony.stott@hotmail.co.uk
Please use the Ordnance Survey grid reference (OS GR) to arrive at the quest. It should be sufficient to get you in the right area. Once there, you’ll need to have a look around to find your answer. Quest Questions can be found in the link:
!!update!! Unfortunately the info for Q58. CROSTON. OS 108 GR 488 186
How much did it cost to build the town bridge in 1682? (Go to the village green), has now been removed from the notice board. We have been informed that the information may be put back up in September (village history event) but no guaranties.
