I said the other day that I've had to re-catalogue my photos following a disastrous laptop failure. Here are 15 photos taken between 1970 and 2015. Some very easy, others not particularly hard - but a scene from 1970 may not be as recognisable in 2015. Just identify the location. Usual picture quiz rules apply - one guess per person until midday Monday12th. I reckon all will have been identified by midnight on 13th/14th  1. Appleby Red Squirrel 2. Harrow and Wealdstone SandTEngineer 3. Falmouth Docks Timmer 4. Corsham Grahame 5. Dunrobin Castle Western Pathfinder 6. Bridport SandTEngineer 7. Yeoford AMLAG 8. Cheltenham Racecourse Adelante_CCT 9. between Polsloe Bridge and Digby & Sowton lympstone_commuter 10. Cilmeri bignosemac 11. Sandplace marky7890 12. Hythe Pier railway Ellendune 13. Finsbury Park SandTEngineer 14. Yeovil Junction Bignosemac 15. Broadclyst AMLAG  |

As an aside, it's good to be reminded of how much better things were back in the days of good old British Rail - when everything was clean and well-maintained, and everywhere you looked was evidence of massive new investment. |

1. Tumby Woodside
4. Corsham
6. Craigallachie
7. Dulverton
8. Pershore
9. near Finstock
10. Aspatria
13. Welham Green
15. Bakewell
I have probably got all of the above wrong ... some laughably so. But then I can usually only get 3 or 4 of the BNM quizzes right ...
