No, not Bristle, Bristol! A Google earth and Streetview photo quiz from various parts of the city, some obvious, some not at all.

Interesting.  8 out of 14.  Not bad as I've never lived or worked for more than a few days in Bristol itself

12/14.

Not bad for an ex-resident.

I got no.6 and no.14 wrong. I had no idea where the allotments were either.

9/14 for me. I lived in Bristol for over 35 years and had an allotment all of that time, but still got the allotment site wrong!
