Geocache Description:

St. Andrew's Church, Surbiton



St Andrew's Church was built in 1871-72 and was consecrated in 1872. The architect was Arthur W. Blomfield, later Sir Arthur and Vice-President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The tower was built twenty years later as a thank-offering for the recovery from illness of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).

The co-ordinates above are not for the cache, but for Surbiton High Street, where there is available parking (possibly on a meter?). To find the location of the cache you will need to visit a number of locations around Surbiton collecting information, using the pictures above.
Each picture shows the church, taken from a different angle. However, the co-ordinates for these locations are not disclosed! Your task is to find where the pictures were taken and gather information from the sites to answer the questions below.

Picture A: What number can you ring for a curry? Answer: a99 9b47
Picture B: What is the number on the black door? Answer: c0
Picture C: What are the dates listed on the memorial? Answer: 1d14-e8
Picture D: What is the number in red? Answer: f

Using this information, you can now find the cache, located at N51° 23.uvw W000° 18.xyz. This cache will involve a fairly long walk, but should hopefully take you to some pleasant locations around Surbiton.

u = c + e
v = d - e
w = c * (b / f)
x = d - a
y = (d / a) - e
z = b - c

(Sum of u, v, w, x, y, z equals 27)

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
