Wrong size photo I'll try again (apologies if I'm going out of turn). Where's this one?

Well done Yorkie. Spot on. I thought I might have to show a picture of the famous clock on the gable end of the station

Looks as though a clue is needed.

It is on the Iberian Peninsular and is of great significance.  Built in the early 16th Century on the site of a previous structure.

This grave is in the building.  An extra point for naming the person whose remains lie therein.

There is also a strong Indian connection.

Looks like we need another clue!    :rage:

Just have to monkey about with this clue, and think of Hieronymites.

The memorial grave should be explored as a clue is in the illustration.

Hieronymites Monastery just outside Lisbon - Tomb of Vasco Da Gama gives the Indian connection.(I knew I'd been there but needed a little bit of google to refresh my memory!)

All correct - well almost.  The Indian connection is that the name of the Monastery is Jeronimo's Monastery, a bit subtle!  Built in 1502 on the previous site of a Hermitage.

Well done! &well&

OK - here's a new one.  Where is this monster located?  And it really is easy peasy!

It's one of the gargoyles on Notre Dame in Paris

Told you it was easy.  All one had to do was Google gargoyle on images and it is the first one to appear!

What was the significance of this street?

What was the name of the street and where was it located?

After your posts on the Reading thread, I was tempted to say there might be a Jack the Ripper connection here, Trojan!

Is it Awkright's shop on Open All Hours?
The exterior shots were in Lister Avenue in Balby, a suburb of Doncaster; the shop itself is a hairdresser's salon.
