Game: Name that road!

[BrumJim]

There’s obviously equine activity nearby - a yard or bridleway. It doesn’t look like Lambourn - what does Newmarket look like?

Nothing like that. Firstly Newmarket is way flatter than that - the elevation shown would be described as a mountain by the locals. And no chance that expensive race horses would be allowed to trot along the road in Newmarket. It is all very, very centred around the horses there.
(could be wrong, though)

If I were you, I'd look in the Halifax/Bradford area.

Classic lurks around there and that is what our local walls look like. I know much (though not ALL) of this side of Halifax so if I had to hazard a guess I'd say from 5 km W of Halifax to 10 km E, and 10 km N and S... -ish?!

What are these strange units you use?


An estate agent puts a nearby "house" as 26 miles away.

Those would be the units that had already been in use by scientists for over 170 years when I was taught them at school over half a century ago...

They tried that with me, didn't like them. Decided to stick with the older system.

@classic33 - I suggest that you get back on Street view and post another picture from somewhere nearby with something that can give us a better clue. A tower, building, geographical feature etc.?

I don't think we will identify that without more clues, ideally pictures. This is in the Photo Gallery sub-forum, after all!

 

[classic33]

From a bit further back.

There's a secret base nearby.
T4tomo, not litter notepad and case.

 

[ClichéGuevara]

I'm pretty sure I've found the lights in the background, but can I heck make them fit with the rest of it.

Which probably means I'm miles out.

bear in mind that isn't a street view photo, different lenses make things look different.

I assume this "secret" base isn't marked on any maps for obvious reasons of secrecy? so whilst we have a better photo, We arent much further forward

Not necessarily a valid assumption. This isn't always the case

Haruumph, I was sure it was Menwith Hill, but there's no bendy bits of road going over a bridge.

I bet the same people sold them the lighting columns though.

StreetView picture, and she's on her own in this one.

 

[T4tomo]

so we have a set of rugby posts in what appears to be an overgrown field, with some floodlights beyond (another sports installation?)
a good line of pylons for the pylon spotter nerds to identify
a house on the left which may or may not have a caravan parks near it, approaching a sharp-ish LH bend,
possibly gorse bush, indicating close to moorland / reasonable altitude.
and like Cliche - I cant see anything likely at Menwith Hill, which came up as secret base top search

 

[ColinJ]

Ah, there ARE pylons... I was looking in a few places but thought that there ought to be pylons in the picture so gave up there. I'll go back and look harder!
