I don't understand 12, the city is called Blantyre?

[LumPlum]

Thank you all for the first 2 now I am left with 12a
B?A?T?R?-L?C?E

[boxtops]

It's definitely Blantyre.... something

[boxtops]

Could it be Blantyre Lodge (if your C is wrong)?

[LumPlum]

That's what I thought - it probably the original name in a Prussian dialect !!

[sandyRoe]

Blantyre Lycee would fit. Don't see why, though

Blantyre Limbe

[boxtops]

There is a Blantyre Lodge in Malawi but the city is Blantyre - not a brilliant clue!

Solved- Jimtools got it with the limbe, The M if from maraMba, rather than maraCas for a latin american percussion instrument - thank you all for your efforts.

I think that the instrument is Marimba rather than Maramba.
