Think we need some more clues for this one Parksider.These cryptic puzzles aren't too easy. It's easy enough to find out facts and history. But to look inside someones head to see how their brain was working isn't too easy. I can't find a google app for it anywhere It's a bit like humming the bass line to a song and wanting someone else to guess it. We can hear the full song in our head clearly, but the other person just hears the 'Dum, dum, dum, bfffft' (That was Lennon's deliberately poor bass playing on ''The Long and Winding Road'' if you didn't already guess it by the way) Anymore clues please?

If she came back to walk from this place to the corner, she may look a bit fancy?

I have a thought as to where this may be but some of my cryptic connections are very tenuous. After thinking I had solved another recentish W&W based on what I thought were good cryptic connections but I was wrong so I am not going to give my possible answer to this one as I am almost sure again to be wrong (though I would not bank on it).Would I be right The Parksider in saying it has 2 four handled cups? If not then I am wrong, though I will still state what I thought it was and why when the correct answer is given.

The clues are not actually that cryptic when looked at in unison.There's a magnificent four handled cup and whilst there are others they are only in relief.Age Quod Agis Leo......

Think I might have been barking up the wrong religion. The sisters thing threw me there. I was thinking of convent. There are only a couple of Leeds locations with the word 'corner' included in them - unless somebody tells me a few more - and this one is not the Moortown kind. So it's the other one. Midway between two bastions of the establishment. Empty buildings fit. And the fact that both sexes have done a moonlight flit to pastures new.The latin did it. But the four handled cup is still a mystery.
