Jane Austen is 'Bath's most famous resident' so Bath might be why the books are wet? There was the Jane Austen Festival in Bath in September, so could be that?

If the other book is actually Wuthering Heights, it was written by Emily Brontë, so I'm not sure. The only thing I can think of is that the two are being adapted and it's seemingly caused a huge backlash with the casting and Netflix's involvement. So the picture could be a sort of "hanging them out to dry" thing.

Ah yes, good point. I couldn't read that one properly to be certain (too pixelly for me) but the other definitely looks like Pride and Prejudice. That could be a good call with hanging them out to dry though!

Apologies if this has already been said but couldn't find it anywhere. There's a tennis racket in the second window to the left at the top...could this be Wimbledon 2024? Different to the racket with the apple

This sounds like a good possibility!

Thanks for creating the image and updating it with the answers Freelikeabird.

Just catching up on things.  Personally I hate the arbitrariness of it all, and always feel like entering my answers early just to get rid of it.  But I am not sure about 'The Split' being an answer.  That leaves me with the fish and shark (as you say, perhaps Asia), the drying books, and has nobody mentioned the green train and window display above number 31 above?

There is a book review programme, 'Between the Covers,' but that isn't about washing, drying, pegs or lines

Oh yeah! Completely missed the train, good spot. Rail strikes?

I personally think the fish are definitely 'Asia' but the sharks from the programme thumbnails and the shark pictured here look like different species. This doesn't look like a gey reef shark to me.

I don't know sharks very well but it looks like a great white.

Sooo.... that means one of the existing 52 is wrong? My money would be on "the poor editing"/The Split.

Yes, I agree, I have a paper copy of the magazine and you can’t see it as it would be right down the centre of the 2 pages.

Ah! So the picture we've been looking at is a combination (either literally or effectively) of two printed pages? That's a slam dunk then.
