I don't know what the 'srum' means, but there's a Strumble Head lighthouse, if that's near anywhere that fits the clue.

26 The only suggestion I can make is it a Spelling Error and should read
Tumbril not Tumble. People have stated previously that this setter is prone to mistakes.

It could then be Barrow upon Humber ?

[emeritus]

It should be Spurn Tommo

Excellent answer emeritus, no wonder we couldn't solve it.

I know the area around Spurn Head, and there isn't a town or city that's anywhere the Spurn Head lighthouse (which is disused, anyway). The lighthouse is stuck out on a spit of sand, and the nearest settlement to the north is Kilnsea, and to the south is Cleethorpes, miles away across the Humber.

Brilliant,emeritus. I got Barrow-upon-Humber but discounted it because of tumble.There have been quite a few mistakes in clues lately-it's really annoying when you spend time trying to get answers.Perhaps the setter will acknowledge this one?

[emeritus]

Thanks quinie, it could even be Tumulus ? But that's probably pushing it a bit.

Unfortunately the setter doesn't use a computer, so unless you ring him direct there is no way of checking on the clues. He is very approachable though, I spoke to him a few quizzes ago.

26. Already said i think the setter means the point of the river near spurn lighthouse, which is the mouth of the Humber, the only town i can find to fit is Falmouth,
