Pictures taken out of the window, resulting in most of them being candidates for the Facebook "Your Crap Photos" group, but still recognisable as record and memory shots.  Can you help me be reminding me where I should be remembering with each of them?
 
One each, please, for the first 24 hours although I know that several are so obvious as to be painful.  All are pictures I have taken (I would not embarrass anyone else) within the last few months, so not all that far from home

No. 9: Fareham.

Those three are correct ... but (sorry) No. 6 is not Stonehouse.   I do have pictures of the bridge there, but not from this year.
