I've passed it innumerable times over the years 'cause it's local-ish.

My NVQ in IT-Philistine prevents me from posting a pic.. so someone else needs to propigate the thread please.

Yes, I think it is. And where thousands of men used to work making barrels or cans or beer, now there are a few dozen.

I've seen 'that' thread too, but it still doesn't give a clue as to where it is.

I'm plumping for North Wales.
Certainly never seen cycling south of Sussex

Yes. I might have said before, te bridges of Cumbria do define the area at least as much as the fells and passes.

Now, which bridge, or where?

Nope, doesn't help.  Looks southern French to me, maybe around the Monts Noir sort of area?
