Clue #5: I would call the crew to action when they heard my ring; but I’ve retired to the ground where I no longer swing. Clue #6: Once a stay for tourists, it burnt to the ground; now a home for our elders with the best views around. Clue #7: Named in honour of World War One; please take a seat, class has begun!
