I've never heard it called that Yorkie but then I left that area nearly 30 years ago.   I've never eaten there but had many, many drinks there.
It seems that there was never any set closing hours in the place and if the owner got tired he went upstairs to bed and told every one to help themselves and put the money behind the bar and lock the door on their way out.    $good$      ZXZ

A bit easier Hollins!    ;D       You must have been every where in England on your frequent trips so it could be anywhere.   

I'm still thinking on this one but will have a look around Manchester first.     ?{}?

Save you looking, not Manchester but it is in the north west.

To get us started, Yorkie's wild guess is the Austin Smith Library in Liverpool.       ZXZ

No, it isn't Liverpool and it isn't in a city.

It does form part of the University of Derby but it is not in Derby so where is it?

Well done SteveH.

Largest unsupported dome in Europe. It was a hospital when I lived there but started off life as a stables.

       $thanx$    I visited it, when I was a kid, but still had to find the name, my  grandparents  lived in Rhos , but my grandfather was from Doveholes, most of the family were connected to the quarries there, I have been trying to contact then recently, but no luck so far.

Didn't get back in time to qualify my answer, but there we go!   Z**


Why do they call it the Devonshire Dome when it is in Derbyshire?   $walesflag$

This is a print from a painting by a Famous Artist and is one of many pictures of Roses, Lilies and other Flora in a particularly famous Garden, painted for a particularly Famous person.
Can you name the Artist, the Garden and the Person?

I think the painter was P.J.R for M.A. in the E.P......I also think (Yorkie is a good teacher), so have only given the initials, so as not to spoil it for others.     here goes...

Very good Steve, but the Garden is wrong as is the person, the artist is correct.  Providing the initials mean the same for you as they do for me!   Shouldn't be too difficult getting the other two thirds!

I have the whole lot of the Roses, Lilies and the Bouquets.   
I did the same thing with the Welsh pleasant!   :D
