Enter our August Where in the World contest and win £30 ! - Wednesday's question
Closes on 19th of August 2026
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, used to have a clock tower but it was demolished in the 1970s following an act of crime. An actor, who appeared in a 1960s Carry On film, lived his final years in the town and died here in the 1980s. The town hosts an annual chess tournament with the next one celebrating a special anniversary. What is the name of the town ?
