Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.
To fully defox the following geofoxer, identify all twelve locations plus the theme that links them.

A. Spodek, Katowice, Poland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spodek
There’s a monument nearby for the insurgents who fought the German police during the Silesian Uprisings.
K – Wells, Somerset (link to Google maps)
Looking down to the Bishop’s Eye
Which I think was used as the police station in Hot Fuzz.
L) Pearse Street Garda Station in Dublin – https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3454727,-6.2560122,3a,75y,304.97h,82.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s94UhpFdqZojvOiet9ofvUQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D94UhpFdqZojvOiet9ofvUQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D63.191353%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192
Another police themed one along the LAPD HQ (J).
Yes, and the building in F looks policey as well, given that the word PATROL is on it.
B. Earl’s Court tube station, London
Earl’s Court Police Box conveniently hidden.
J. LAPD headquarters & Los Angeles City Hall in the background: https://goo.gl/maps/Kk9PCQpDxfH64cun8
G – Andrássy út, Budapest, looking at the House of Terror (link to Google maps)
I bet they have some secret police stuff.
Indeed, that’s what it’s all about. It was the police headquarters under both Fascist and Communist regimes, with much terror during both.
D. Peel Castle, Isle of Man: https://goo.gl/maps/w4VDnzjDJNjzBtsr9
Robert Peel, founder of the Met Police is it?
That one was driving me mad – so Scottish, and yet not 😀
F. Maxwell Street Police Station in Chicago: https://goo.gl/maps/EhVJoqnGZBZX4CvC6
Lots of police stations, so the theme may be police related.
I is The Cornfield by John Constable in the National Gallery, London.

And here’s a Constable
H. Greene King Brewery, Bury St Edmunds, UK: https://goo.gl/maps/CLhs7nu89dXP1pYSA
Do we have a police connection to this one?
No, not for this and the UFO in Poland.
The brewing vessels in front of the brewery is made out of COPPER !
Lol, nice!
E. Tokyo Police Museum: https://www.gotokyo.org/en/spot/520/index.html
Theme definitely police.
C. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, US: https://goo.gl/maps/unLCx2Ddnrdbn4PS7
So we got the baton.
45 mins late, nowt to see here, move along!
I’m still stumped by C. I feel I’ve been scrutinising hundreds of images of sterns of paddlewheel boats… I didn’t imagine there would be so many still in use.
And there, Aergistal has found it! Well done!
We still need to find the link for the brewery and the arena.
