Title: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 06, 2016, 23:44:26 Probably shouldn't put these rather sad pictures in "lighter side". However .. can you tell me where?

Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: eightf48544 on February 07, 2016, 11:31:51 Top left not sure which tram system but there seem to be some quite large potholes in the road.
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 07, 2016, 11:33:26 Always one to go for the low-hanging fruit: Top right is Warmley. Only "low hanging" if you know it. Yes, it is! Top left not sure which tram system but there seem to be some quite large potholes in the road. Nope - no tramway (which would have been an interesting idea there) but rather a level crossing. Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: Red Squirrel on February 07, 2016, 12:11:23 Only "low hanging" if you know it. Yes, it is! Fair comment. I've passed through there, sober, heading towards Bath many a time; less often sober in the reverse direction. Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: Bmblbzzz on February 16, 2016, 22:58:36 Wild guess for the large picture: on the Strawberry Line?
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on February 17, 2016, 01:17:49 Hmm. Whereabouts, exactly? The Shute Shelve tunnel entrance and the road overbridge near Cheddar are much wider spans than that - and I can't think of any other possible views, offhand? :-\
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 17, 2016, 06:59:45 Not the Strawberry Line, I'm afraid ... but for that bigger picture I did walk from the station where an FGW train (as it was) had dropped me off.
The bottom left and bottom right pictures are very much "in territory"; the top left one is somewhat out of area, but a place covered on the forum. The smaller pictures are not recent; the big 'un is last summer. Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: Southernman on February 17, 2016, 09:21:46 Bottom right - somewhere along the disused Radstock to Frome line?
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 17, 2016, 09:25:10 Bottom right - somewhere along the disused Radstock to Frome line? Correct - Kilmerstock, where (if legend is to be believed) Jack and Jill went up the hill Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: InTheSidings on February 17, 2016, 19:16:39 Is that a Portmanteau, Grahame? Of Kilmersdon and Radstock perhaps? :)
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 17, 2016, 19:22:42 Is that a Portmanteau, Grahame? Of Kilmersdon and Radstock perhaps? :) Yes, though an unintentional one! Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: InTheSidings on February 17, 2016, 20:47:35 Prompted more than a bit with the answer to bottom RH picture, I think I spy a slag-heap in the background of the bottom LH picture. If so, possibly not far away from the same location somewhere in the Somerset coalfield, but beyond that guess, no idea!
Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: PhilWakely on February 17, 2016, 21:14:46 Is the big picture on the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple [Junction] station?

Yes - that's actually on the old Radstock site ... taken on a different visit to the area to the Kilmersdon trip. Leaves top left to get (remember, not GW territory) and the main picture which - sorry - isn't Tarka trail. Very surprised you've not got that one, PhilWakely, as I think I've been in your company within a mile or so of the spot! Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: Rob on the hill on February 17, 2016, 21:40:40 Is main picture on the Bristol - Bath path?

In which case, it must be the Rodwell Trail, Weymouth :-[ ?? ??Title: Re: Where was this? Post by: grahame on February 17, 2016, 22:13:46 Is main picture on the Bristol - Bath path? Sorry - no ...
