Just for fun. Half a dozen for folk to have a go at identifying.

Please. Just one guess each. If any are left after 11:59pm 13/02/2013 then you can have another go.

Oh, a certain wandering trout is ineligible to take part. As we met up twice he kinda knows where I've been.  Wink

1.


2.


3.


4.


5.


6.


And for a bonus point can anyone tell me what is slightly unusual about these two tickets?

You can't catch a train to Barlaston or Wedgwood! You would have either walked or caught a bus.

P.S. Number 3 is definitely not Coventry from my knowledge of having spent 4 years there!

Correct for the bonus point. Although I neither walked or caught the bus. Just used those destinations as an interesting split at Stoke-on-Trent.

Well.... interesting to me!

The Wedgwood factory is at Barlaston so are they one and the same place?

I think 6 is Deansgate Castlefield.

I have an idea where 5 might be too. I still have one or two from my picture quiz from some time that nobody guessed, perhaps I should try adding one or two more shots to see if that gives folks a clue.
