Enter our May Where in the World contest and win £30 ! - Thursday's question
Closes on 22nd of May 2025
You could win a £30 cash prize in our May Where in the World contest.
We will be asking you to name different locations in the world each day between now and the end of the month.
We provide a picture clue which might be cryptic in addition to the written clues.
At the end of each day's contest we will pick the winner from all correct answers received and so the winner is not necessarily the first entrant with the answer. The overall winner of the £30 cash prize at the end of the competition will be the person who has the most individual wins and in the event of a tie a draw will be held to determine the winner of the £30 cash prize.
We will give you regular updates of the daily contest winners so you can see who is leading the competition.
Only one entry per day is allowed, otherwise your entry will not count.

Question:
This town, which has a connection with the picture, lies around 4 miles from an RAF base which is expecting a large number of visitors on one of the days next month. The town has a school whose former pupils include a number of ex-footballers who have played for their country, including one who was once regarded as the best player in Europe. Around 170 years ago a fraud was discovered in the town which involved the theft of over £200,000 (over £20 million in today's money) over the course of a number of years. What is the name of the town ?
