The "guess the place" thread

Thirsk?

[clarion]

Not easy at all for me.  Is it a Red Cross tent somewhere seen from the air?  Or a distress signal marked out in the Antarctic?

Thirsk?

Indeed, Thirsk. The scene of my recent pupmed up pecuniary prosperity.

The Dover ferry?

[chris]

Is that the old tug that was sunk in Malta (or somewhere in the Med) so that the tourists could see something from the submarine that does pleasure rides? A friend told me about it a few years ago. I think it was called the Rossi or something like that.

10 points sir!

It's the Rozi, sunk off Cirrekawa point in Malta.  Originally designed as an attraction for submarine passengers, until the submarine operator stopped running the trips. It soon became a popular dive site.

Isn't that the Turnbull Building in the background?

It is but sad to say it has been taken over by undesirables.

Or you could just rent one for £2000 a month.

Could be worse - getting torn down has been the fate of a lot of grand old Newcastle buildings down the years.

Not easy.

One of the buttertubs?

Not easy.

Gordale Scar

[starkj73]

Gordale scar, it is.

Wasn't too bad going up, wouldn't fancy going down.

An easy one (probably) -

I took one look and my head said Helvellyn.  Haven't a clue why.

High Street ?

Old Man of Coniston.

Damon.

[Polar Bear]

Looks like top of the Old Man to me too looking north towards Swirl How.

That was my thought too.

[chris]

Old man it is. Well done you three.

[Polar Bear]

You got a good day for it.  Most times I've been up there you can't see that far!

[andrew w]

Here's an indoor one for a change.  Where's this?

[clarion]

Looks kind of Orthodox, but I have no idea where.  It's rather 'Wow', isn't it?

[hellymedic]

Something in me says 'Venice', where the East had much influence.

Something in me says 'Venice', where the East had much influence.

I can see why you might think that, but it's actually west of the Greenwich meridian, rather than east.  That narrows it down to half the world, then. 

[Zoidburg]

Would it be in Brighton by any chance?

No.
