Is that a Travel Tavern next to it?

In on the killfile (Boring, Maryland), Friday, 2 April 2021 14:21 (five years ago)

I'm confused...are these last two images the same place?

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:21 (five years ago)

Yep. I liked the first pic because of the misdirection but figured we'd have been here for months if I didn't post another

or something, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:27 (five years ago)

I thought the pavement might have been a giveaway in that first pic but maybe that sort of pavement is more common than I realised

or something, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:28 (five years ago)

I think this is one of the petrol stations thats next to one of the big supermarkets, maybe

It looks just like the Tesco petrol station in Milton, probably looks just like a hundred others too.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 2 April 2021 15:23 (five years ago)

The roofs of the houses look quite distinctive - like a nod to local vernacular architecture, but I can’t think of where.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 15:52 (five years ago)

I’m going to say Hereford.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:10 (five years ago)

The petrol station in Tesco's Hereford faces the store in that aspect - the kiosk backs on to the roundabout.

Also, for future reference, if there's a dual carriageway in the picture it's not Hereford.

Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:17 (five years ago)

Not Hereford

Sadly no

the houses look like they might be big enough to be flats, which makes me think it's a biggish city.

Birmingham?

calzino, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:05 (five years ago)

I think its a Tesco Extra. They seem to have slightly different designs from the other ones though I don't know what significance is

Glasgow?

Madchen, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:44 (five years ago)

I don't think this is the UK

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:44 (five years ago)

yeah there's something fishy about those houses.

old guy seems to be walking to the right hand side though, which suggest left hand drive.

dublin?

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Friday, 2 April 2021 18:51 (five years ago)

Thought the houses might be student accommodation

nashwan, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:59 (five years ago)

There are also Tescos in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:00 (five years ago)

Not Glasgow or
Dublin

Aren't those uk national lottery signs, at the end of the blue line?

Diggin Holes (Ste), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:15 (five years ago)

Looks like it.

Torquay?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:21 (five years ago)

It does look like the seaside. I feel like I've been there!

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:34 (five years ago)

I had that feeling as well! I walked that part of the coast a couple of years back and swear I walked up that street. There's probably a name for that. (Senility? Hiraeth?)

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:52 (five years ago)

getting more Plymouth vibes than Torquay if it is a coastal city, even though I've only ever seen it from a train! I checked a few Plymouth Tesco petrol stations and couldn't find a match for the one above.

calzino, Saturday, 3 April 2021 10:51 (five years ago)

Neither of those

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 3 April 2021 11:42 (five years ago)

Looks a lot like the Mumbles but not finding anything similar on street view

(the one with 3 L's) (Willl), Saturday, 3 April 2021 12:52 (five years ago)

those street lights make me think of somewhere posh, heritage-y, like richmond

It's not Newcastle, is it?

How did you do it?

ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:10 (five years ago)

don't you remember the time we went to Bangor?

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:13 (five years ago)

ha.

Was thinking Ireland, so GISed ferris wheel Ireland, looking for the blue stanchions.

bulb after bulb, Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:13 (five years ago)

If you move forward in streetview that wheel disappears, guess it's not permanent. Thought I'd leave it in to make things easier after three days of increasingly sparse responses tho

I have such a knowledge of Tesco petrol station architecture variations now.

I don't get it! Bangor was one of the first tesco's I checked on streetview but it doesn't look like that

cherry blossom, Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:34 (five years ago)

This is Bangor in N Ireland

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:37 (five years ago)

They've put one there now as well?

cherry blossom, Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:40 (five years ago)

Hey, spare a thought for me. I was streetviewing N Irish Tesco petrol stations this morning, there are two of them, I checked one of them (the wrong one, as it turns out) but for some unaccountable reason skipped over the second.
