The Jigsaw Gallery

Painted by Gary Cartwright. If there’s too much sky on a puzzle, things can sometimes get a bit tricky. No such trouble here, though: here, the problem was too many bricks! Joking apart, though, this is a wonderful picture of Lincoln in bygone days. Ah, you can’t beat a nice bit of nostalgia.

The original image for this puzzle was created by L.G.Bullock. We like heraldry, so this puzzle really appealed to us. Maybe it’s something to do with all the bright colours on the shields and coats of arms — or perhaps we just find dragons and griffins cuddly! We like maps too: they’re much better than all that modern sat-nav nonsense!

Original picture by Carol Dyer. The sky almost defeated us on this puzzle. Almost, but not quite: it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind — and a mallet — to something.
