I said the other day that I've had to re-catalogue my photos following a disastrous laptop failure. Here are 15 photos taken between 1970 and 2015. Some very easy, others not particularly hard - but a scene from 1970 may not be as recognisable in 2015. Just identify the location. Usual picture quiz rules apply - one guess per person until midday Monday12th. I reckon all will have been identified by midnight on 13th/14th  Smiley

1.   Appleby                         Red Squirrel

As an aside, it's good to be reminded of how much better things were back in the days of good old British Rail - when everything was clean and well-maintained, and everywhere you looked was evidence of massive new investment. Tongue
