I think 1 is Bath Spa, and the 'appendix' picture is Melksham!  Grin

Yes - Avoncliff, Bath Spa and the bonus was (of course!) Melksham.   Thanks for doing just one each ... I suspect Chris knows at least one more too (and can p.m. me if he wants to confirm!)

Good so see you becoming unquiet ... but I'm afraid No. 2 is not Westbury

Well, I'm going to hazard a guess that 4 might be Taunton.  (I recognised the kitbag on the right!)  Wink Roll Eyes Grin

Well, I'll agree with 2 being Swindon - but describing 3 as 'Somewhere in Ireland' ?? That's a fairly wide guess, Timmer !!  Shocked Roll Eyes Grin
