I was at number 10 the other day - I won't give it away - but goodness me doesn't it need some TLC (three letter code, or tender loving care, depending on context ).  Paint falling from the ceiling, floor surface not good in the wet - even a broom to tackle the cobwebs would be an improvement!

I thought similar. Roof was leaking too.

Wasn’t raining when I was there so was spared that!

10. Woking

Correct. The very tired looking overbridge for the lifts. I had hoped to take a picture of Woking's old signal box from up here, but the windows were too dirty.

Sorry, 9 is most definitely not Taunton!

The only Taunton references are the bloke behind the camera. It being his home town. He also worked briefly, in his late teens, for the same company in both Taunton and this location. No fiver. Tongue

(Oh, and there's no Melksham either!)

No. 1 has to be Shortlands ... blindingly obvious to anyone who - err - was brought up in the Bromley area, commuting through there or a daily basis, catching the 227 bus and sometimes walking past the spot where the picture was taken on his way up through the park to the High Street.   But then ... not everyone was brought up in that area  Cheesy
