Not sure, but I think it was smouse who gave the answer as COWRE ( which is a shell ).
Val.

[smouse]

I did - not sure it is really spelt like that but it fits
cow for the farm animal
and
Re is the chemical symbol for rhenium

[Big Jenny]

Well, it's an unusual answer, anyway. I've never heard of it myself, but I can't come up with anything more suitable at the mo.

Thanks both.

cowry or cowrie marine mollusc a mostly tropical family having a glossy brightly marked shell.thats what it says in my book1. any help

[Big Jenny]

Well that confirms it's related to the seaside/seashore, certainly. However, it's bit obscure, isn't it? Not like funfair, or donkey ride or pier, for example.

What do others think?

I typed into Google cowre shell, came up with cowre shell necklaces.

[teddybears]

well it is a shell and you find shells on the beach myself i will go with it nearst yet ,and smouse does know quite a lot and gives good anwers. i go with smouse

[smouse]

I'd be happie with cowrie which is the common spelling but it just doesnt fit the clue as I read it.
Probably way off the mark

[Headley]

I have put cowrie - on the assu8mption that the i stands for forst i.e. leads. Does that make any sense or not?

[smouse]

maybe

[smouse]

no had a rethink as it submitted
i dont see that has re have to be together for the chemical symbol
and that would only work if it was cowire
mind you what do I know it is new shoots after all

[Big Jenny]

"rie" sounds like "re", so perhaps that's good enough.
