Game: Name that road!

[T4tomo]

I tried cleaning my screen too... Looks like it was on the camera lens!

I think it was on the lens, but it wouldn't be unusual to see assorted things flying there.

Somewhere near Sutton Bank overlooking the Vale of York immedeiately struck me as a possible, and there's a gliding club...

^^^^ some of that is very warm, some of it is very cold. I'm in meetings now til lunchtime, so will check back to see if you've worked it out early pm.

Going for a ride shortly. I’ll post a road later this afternoon. Assuming I am right of course!

Ping Ming, you are of course spot on. It's a nice climb up from the southern side, and then you get rewarded with a great view. plus is the glider and kite flying capital of the region!

Here you go, guess this road!

 

[ColinJ]

Somebody should definitely recognise that!

Typing "celtic cross" into the search box on the website warmemorialsonline.org.uk only comes up with 922 results. So this shouldn't take long.

Throw in 'nearby thatched cottage' and see if that helps!

If only it was like on TV programs like CSI, we could zoom in on that cross and read the inscription "To the memory of the war dead of Thatchycottage-by-the-Church"

Nick, Grissom & Sara had a near-magical "enhance" function on their computers. It's missing from my MSPaint.exe

Soooo.... what do we have?

Looks Southern.
Photo taken towards the sun.
Small village (few names on memorial)
More than one road.
Thatched cottage.
Red phone box.


Aha! Can't be many red phone boxes left!

Hmmmm

Cross-reference cross with red phone box and thatched cottage!

I tried zooming in on the cross but my magic 'zoom into detail that isn't there' function seems to have a bug in it - it just looks like a bigger blur...

Hmmmm

I've been searching for thatched churches in South Norfolk, so with my record of being nowhere near, you can narrow your search area by avoiding that.

Yaaay, go me. I got one. (ermm, I think anyway)
