Game: Name that road!

[classic33]

After my sleep, I realised that we have this the wrong way round... I asked the question, and you have to answer it!

If you can identify the road, do a screenshot from Street View to prove it, and then tell us about the Trafalgar connection.

Then it would be your turn and you could provide a photo of a road to identify, and add some cryptic clues later if nobody comes up with the answer.

PS I can see that a mention of Branwell might help narrow down the search area for my road. So - Branwell Brontë found it hard to account for what had happened nearby...

Dry Carr Road

Scratch that, wrong road

Dry Carr Road

I can find a Dry Carr Lane in the area I think it we should be looking, but can't see anything matching Colin's road along it.

Can you post a screen shot or link to the location on google maps?

I'm sure we're getting close!

Or possibly around Luddendenfoot where he couldn't account for a deficit in the accounts of the railway station at which he worked

Bank House Lane

I bloomin' looked at bank house lane and... erm... missed it completely! (the mill pond is dried up on the Satellite photo... that explains it!)

Well done Venod

 

[ColinJ]

Excellent! Over to you @Venod .

The gate mentioned on the sign has been closed when I have been up this road, its open on streetview,I hope they closed it after filming, name that road.

I was looking at the first pond but no joy, but the wall the road and lay of land looked promising so I kept going up.

OK, here is some help... One of my uncles was born in the village at the top of the steep hill. He came down to the Midlands to work and married my dad's youngest sister!

Wainstalls?

The Lord Nelson pub Battle of Trafalgar connection.

Aha!

I've never actually been through that part of Luddenden village. My route would usually be down Solomon Hill/New Rd from Midgley, or up Luddenden Lane from the A646. Then I'd climb High St/Stocks Ln - another of the tough routes up to Wainstalls.

Time for a cryptic clue I think.

The gardens at Babylon after a wild storming.

Worcestershire, West Bromwich or Shropshire?

None of the above, its in Yorkshire, the sloping ridge in the background has a road running along it that featured in one of my previous posts in this thread.
