that's all that I got too lol. Enlisted my mum and she says 'take two from the town' almost definitely means if you remove the letters two from town you get 'n' left' and that East might just be an 'e', so trying to work with that now!

Makes sense. Could also be that you have to take the letters TWO from "the town", which would leave you with "then", rather than just "N". Not sure where that leads us to though.

Have been thinking about other bits. I wondered why you would dig holes for soap. I wondered if there was a soap plant. There is, but then I reached another dead end. I also pondered about the Copper's first date. Do you think that it is copper, as in policeman? or copper as in a pre-decimal coin? or copper the metal?

Anyway, have wasted about an hour on this, but getting nowhere, so off to do some more comps.

'Bars apples on east'- some kind of sweet factory or something similar?( looked at wham bars and the like, they are made in Scotland but can't find out where).

or bars of soap? Going on the first and third stanza.

.

I assumed it's a policeman they're talking about, as they wouldn't say 'the copper' if it was just metal? Although who knows, the logic in these is a bit weird sometimes :rotfl:

Did you know you can have a guess every day?

I have not got time to look at this in depth yet, but a couple of thougts for you to be going on with:-

1. George Sampson VC - VC are Roman numerals. Is the first part all mathematical? More Roman numerals? Do we subtract 2 from some number given by the first line? Totting up and multiplying by 1.5 in line 3?

2. "Below Why Of Memory". Is this a visual clue - Is "memory" written somewhere and what is below the "Y".

3. Dig Holes For Soap. There are several "Coronation" pits/mines/quarries around the country.

A few more thoughts after a bit of googling:-

St. Saviours Hospital (Bury St. Edmunds) dates from 1184

1184 x 1.5 = 1776

John Constable (The Copper?) born 1776

Artful Locations related to Constable's paintings in Suffolk?

Dig Holes for Soap = Sudbury?
