Get involved this Halloween and follow our Spooky Trail to track down the resting place of Tiny the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiny the dog died in 1882 in the grounds of Streatham Campus and although his ghost has a lovely time exploring the grounds, he’d love to be at peace with his pet friends. Can you help solve the clues at all the places Tiny explores and ultimately help him find peace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail takes around 45 minutes to complete and is best done during daylight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the map to find all 14 points on the Spooky Trail on Streatham Campus and solve the clues. Take the first letter from each answer to create an anagram. Work out the anagram and you have the answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
