southmanor on bosom

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:36 (five years ago)

I have lived in Hereford and Southampton and no

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:39 (five years ago)

My phone wonโ€™t let me xoom in but it looks like a stretch of the A3 near New Maldon.

Madchen, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:43 (five years ago)

Not New Malden.

bristol?

๐” ๐”ž๐”ข๐”จ (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:48 (five years ago)

Nope, not Brizzle.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:49 (five years ago)

I was going to give this one a go but looking at the picture is making me a bit sad

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:50 (five years ago)

London

rob, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:57 (five years ago)

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:57 (five years ago)

Chelmsford?

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 20:09 (five years ago)

Not Chelmsford.

worcester

๐” ๐”ž๐”ข๐”จ (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 20:18 (five years ago)

sadly not Worcester

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 20:20 (five years ago)

I also lived in Worcester, no

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 29 March 2021 20:20 (five years ago)

Slough

treeship., Monday, 29 March 2021 20:58 (five years ago)

We've been told this is actually a city, also in the South. Does not leave that many realistic options.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:00 (five years ago)

Not Slough.

most the Southern cities look comparatively quite picturesque from my map adventures tonight, this looks grim enough to be somewhere between Leeds and Dewsbury.

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:08 (five years ago)

I must have checked every fucking Shell garage in every city from Sheffield southwards

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:13 (five years ago)

Chihchester

treeship., Monday, 29 March 2021 21:13 (five years ago)

sadbury? depressionford?

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:15 (five years ago)

Think it might be Gloucester

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:16 (five years ago)

Not Chichester or Gloucester.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:18 (five years ago)

Is it Plymouth?

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:28 (five years ago)

*Gloomcester

Dinsdale, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:31 (five years ago)

Not Plymouth.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:34 (five years ago)

Melchester

ใ€ŠMyst1kOblivi0nใ€‹ (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 21:39 (five years ago)

Exeter is my last guess.

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:51 (five years ago)

I'm going to be embarrassed if it turns out to be Exeter but I don't think it is it's not just that I don't recognise either shot ,it's that I'd expect to see some evidence of the red Devon stone somewhere if it was.

My guess is Chichester, although I thought I recognised a roundabout and I can't place it on the streetview.

Tim, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:16 (five years ago)

Haha and I see you've already ruled Chichester out.

Tim, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:26 (five years ago)

I once spent a night wondering around Exeter and sleeping in the bus station after missing the last northbound national express coach on a sunday afternoon about 20 odd years ago. But usually I've just passed through on a train en-route to Newquay. So I don't claim to know the place - just a wild guess.

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:29 (five years ago)

I thought I was being clever with Klagenfurt but it's shit town uk that's stumped us all

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:29 (five years ago)

I wonder if this is an old pic and the petrol garage switched companies - feel like I've google every southern city + Shell by a motorway/dual carriageway and no match

nashwan, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:35 (five years ago)

Same here

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:41 (five years ago)

I've tried "virgin media" as well

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 22:42 (five years ago)

I note that Guildford and Milton Keynes are missing from the map of cities above. Havenโ€™t made either fit but maybe others are missing? Or maybe Iโ€™m not good at making things fit.

Tim, Monday, 29 March 2021 23:03 (five years ago)

They're not cities

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 23:07 (five years ago)

Churchill Way W

Got it, Salisbury

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 23:09 (five years ago)

ha I did see that one but dismissed it foolishly

nashwan, Monday, 29 March 2021 23:17 (five years ago)

I couldn't see any Russian agents at the Shell cashpoint

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 23:22 (five years ago)

I somehow expected Salisbury to look better than that. But I suppose nice photos aren't what the thread is about. I've almost certainly been in Salisbury at some point.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Monday, 29 March 2021 23:40 (five years ago)

Difficult one, I felt like something would emerge from the image but nothing did and I didn't have a clue. Then cities were being whittled down through collective trial and error at a rapid pace and it still seemed to elude everyone even as the number of available cities dwindled!

kudos on finding the exact spot, still. Even with the process of elimination I was still nowhere near

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 03:07 (five years ago)

Salisbury it is, well done. jim in vancouver may have got it before but he gave Hardy's name for reasons beat known to himself.

Is this photo taken at the start of a car race?
