This structure was opened between 1898 and 1900 and was at the time the tallest structure in the UK. It was demolished about 20 years later, although the building at the base continued to be used, incorporating an indoor fairground and ballroom, until 1969 when it was destroyed by a fire.

Without using photo-search engines, do you know where it is/was?

As no one has got the answer, boatbuilder, I'll say New Brighton Tower in Wallasey, Cheshire. I didn't use a photo-search engine, :notme: honest, but I did put your first sentence into Google Search. :oops: :D

Tut tut! :no: I'll have to word my posts better in future won't I Dave? :D

Yes, it is New Brighton. I have a picture of the view across the River Mersey from the shore on the Liverpool side which I took in about 1964 before the lower building structure caught fire and was subsequently demolished. I will try and find it, although I have a feeling I may have possibly posted it in the past.

This shouldn't be too difficult.

Who is this person who has been in the news a lot recently, but for all the wrong reasons?

I'll copy your idea, boatbuilder, only with four moustaches. All the owners have something in common, so if you get one of them it will help with the others.

Not sure all are right Dave, but these are my identities:
1 Jimmy Greaves
2 Sam Allardyce
3 Graeme Souness
4 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

All right, boatbuilder, I thought Big Sam would cause a problem, though. :D

It's surprising what a bit of searching for 'footballers with moustaches' brought up after I determined Mr Greaves as being the first one, Dave. :D

Looks a bit like the top of a suspension mounting on a vehicle of some kind.
