Enter our August Where in the World contest and win £30 ! - Friday's question

Closes on 22nd of August 2025

You could win a £30 cash prize in our August 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, had an MP in the 17th century who is better remembered for something else he did. A popular 1980s TV sitcom was partly filmed a mile or so from the town. The town has a pier which opened in the 1850s. Half of the pier was lost through a fire in the 1920s and the remainder of the pier was nearly destroyed in another fire 5 years ago. What is the name of the town ?
