Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

I was caught out by the direction of the shadows there. I did search Cockermouth but I was looking at N-S-ish. The Street View car must have gone along there in the late afternoon.

I wanted to be really devious and post South Street; the road that runs parallel to Main Street, but couldn't find an angle that got the road and a clear view of this weather vane...

It's been like that since the clock tower was built

Name that road.

A quintessential Cheshire ride might be the Mountains of Macc loop, but having scooted round there with no joy I started thinking the clue might be 'quint' and looked for 'five lane ends' or 'five acres lane' ...also with no joy.

Yes, you're very close, I purposely, misspelled the word quintessential in my post. It's not the name of the road, but it's close to the road. Look at the picture.

I noticed the misspelling but thought nothing of it... a search for 'quinta cheshire' led me directly to the road in question...

Well done, it's Bernard Lovell's house called "Quinta" in Swettenham, the instigator of the Lovell Radio Telescope at Jodrell Bank.

His Arboretum is nice too.

Over to you.

I saw that there was a company called Quint based in Nether Alderley so I was looking round there!

We rode past the "Quinta" house on one of your marvelous Cheshire rides one year, it was just after the ford. I would have mentioned the house at the time to someone.

Ah, I remember that ford!
