Title: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: grahame on June 29, 2019, 11:02:05 We have lots of lovely places across the South West .... here are a few. Can you place them?
Although some of these pictures are iconic, this post is "The West - but NOT the West's trains" and past form suggests that pictures taken away from our stations can stick around un-identified for a remarkably long time. Let's see how you do on these 1. College Green, Bristol with Bristol Cathedral and, to the right, the Council House in the background. Picture taken from Park St. - ellendune (http://www.wellho.net/pix/across_west_20190629_1.jpg) 2.

Title: Re: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: johnneyw on June 29, 2019, 11:37:51 7. Penarth seafront.
Title: Re: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: grahame on June 29, 2019, 12:09:39 Lots of good answers and impressively fast.
No. 7 is not Penarth, though, and number 8 is not Salisbury. And no. 10 still to identify. I have 'cut in' all the correct answers, with credits, to the original post. Title: Re: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: Reginald25 on June 29, 2019, 12:13:03 I believe no 7 may be Seaton or thereabouts.

Title: Re: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: grahame on June 29, 2019, 13:24:55 I believe no 7 may be Seaton or thereabouts. 8. Trowbridge. Aha! 10 is the very lovely Corfe Castle. And all those three correct - so the whole quiz in record time! Title: Re: Pictures of the West - but not the West's trains! Post by: johnneyw on June 29, 2019, 13:36:50 Aha! 10 is the very lovely Corfe Castle. Now I see it ... and I've had a coffee and a bun in the cafe on the right.
