Is this inside the Merrion centre at all?I've exhausted all outside locations and can't think were it can be outside?

Phil, yes it is Sheepscar.Clue is that there are 8 of them in all but not all if any are visible, they look more like black squares until inspected closer.That should almost give it away!

Yes, that is it. I knew you'd get it after I more or less gave it away!

That was probably one of the hardest guess wheres yet.Your photo made it look like something much bigger, and believe it or not I looked at that building a few times, the street view doesn't show the image like your photo does.

I wonder if the CASHWISE sign has any relation to the Contraception & Sexual Health Service (CASH) service at sites in Leeds (and no doubt other cities). Note that I've never had any need of that service but I have heard of it. I did wonder when I saw the photo but as there seemed to be a stylised £ sign I thought it would be money related.

That's all I could find on google too It must have been a very old advertising logo to be not mentioned anywhere on the net. Not sure why but I thought it looked like Barclay bank for some reason. It has the Leeds owl incorporated anyway.

Got it. According to the London Gazette, Cashwise International Ltd was based there, and was wound up on 8th May 1990: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/ ... age.pdfI'm not sure what happened as it was dissolved again in 1997: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/ ... age.pdfI'm guessing administrators were appointed in 1990 and it stayed dormant until they got round to liquidating it a few years later. As for what they did, it looks like Cashwise International sold and wrote financial software and services
