Title: Where have I been today - USA edition Post by: inspector_blakey on August 02, 2010, 04:34:15 I just got back from here...one of the world's more spectacularly located beer tents is on the left of the picture in the middle distance.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4852105640_0635d759ec_b.jpg) Any ideas where...? The place itself has not had regular scheduled passenger trains for 72 years, but there is a very tenuous FGW connection.

Title: Re: Where have I been today - USA edition Post by: inspector_blakey on August 03, 2010, 05:20:58 Again, not a million miles away from Plymouth this side of the pond... But Gloucester was closer ;)
Title: Re: Where have I been today - USA edition Post by: Bob_Blakey on August 03, 2010, 06:47:35 I think this might be Newport near the mouth of Narragansett Bay in southern Rhode Island - the structure in the background looks very much like the Claiborne Pell bridge.

The picture itself was taken at Fort Adams state park looking north-ish, so Newport proper is out of frame to the right.
