Is it the centre parting of the Statue of Liberty?

[wildrover]

That's exactly what it is - photo taken in 1930.

I thought at first it was some kind of shell or carapace; it was only when I realised that it was something tall enough to look down on trees that it fell into place.





Name the stargazer?

[Tallscot]

As a clue: Disney.

[wildrover]

Looks like 1930s/40s - only astronomer I know from that time is Clyde Tombaugh but I've no idea what he looked like.

[Tallscot]

It is indeed Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930.

[wildrover]

The same year that Tombaugh discovered Pluto, this photo was taken. What's going on here?

[Tallscot]

Is it something to do with prohibition? Bootlegging barrels of beer?

Exactly the opposite - this is the local Plod preparing to incinerate the booze they have seized...

[Tallscot]

Name either the actor or the character he plays?

[Tallscot]

He's in a hugely popular cult show.

[wildrover]

Complete punt because I know he is in Game of Thrones - is it Lily Allen's brother Alfie?

[Tallscot]

No - it's not GoT.
