Childhood memory from 60+ yrs ago not failing me.

I don’t have a stock of photos. I had a box brownie as a lad but after finding the cost of development, How Much, I lost interest. Here’s a Streetview pic of somewhere I cycled to often as a child.

Bingo. with Redcar wind farm in the background, which wasn't there 60 years ago.

yes but one of them is obscured by that grey blotch on the road

There's an extremely outsize telegraph pole with no wires attached. Which means perhaps it's not a telegraph pole but a flagpole? Maybe a military base?

There's something happening with the building at the right. My eyes interpret it as a giant rat bursting through the wall, which is unlikely to be correct. It may be a boring hanging basket.

I'm seeing a pub and a maypole, but i could be wrong about the maypole

We know it's roughly ENE facing from the Google compass

Given its height, I'm seeing an Alpaca peering cheekily from behind the wall

I think you're right that it's a flagpole

 

[MontyVeda]

I think we might need a clue to help narrow this one down a bit

Don't think it is a flagpole, there's two CCTV cameras on it.
Mobile Phone mast?

 

[MontyVeda]

they don't look like CCTV cameras at all to me... a furled flag maybe, or some sort of carving/decoration if it is a maypole

I wondered if they might be signs,if this was the "centre" of somewhere.

I think it is a flagpole with a weathervane on the top of it?

 

[Sea of vapours]

The top of the pole looks like a weather vane to me.
(Cross-posted with Colin).
EDIT: And yes, possibly furled flags beneath it, though I'm more confident about the weather vane aspect. I wonder where the other 'huge' clue is?
