Ha now looking at Corse Lawn which does have a 50 mph B road heading through it. But can’t get a match.
Game: Name that road!

I think the cows may have gone since the Street View camera went by.

No, I think it's a 50 boundary. Repeaters are little ones.

Isn’t that just the camera making it look bigger than it is?

It looks to me as though the diameter of the disc is approximately the same as the vertical distance from the top of my handlebars to my bottom bracket. I'm sure the recommended dimensions for primary and repeater speed limit signs are out there, somewhere.

I knew I recognised it. I've done it once...which was enoughI thought my photo would put you on the right road originally; would yield clear results!

Yes, the initial letters of the odd-looking phrase 'would yield clear results'. Odd-looking should make you wonder why I chose those words!
So, WYCR.
It's not in Pennsylvania!
I cycle in Lancashire and... Yorkshire. Yorkshire also begins with a 'Y'!
Just Google WYCR... West Yorkshire Cycle Route.
That road is a particularly hard climb on the WYCR northwards from Marsden, near Huddersfield.

The big building on the hillside, is that like the cows. Now missing.

The large hill in the distance, to the left of the tallest tree? I think that's another area of brown grass. There is a folly but it's not visible at this range, and up there you should meet a fine lady called Marilyn. The hill is completely green in the Street View images which date from at least 10 years before my picture.
A couple of slightly different views which may help:

I think @Aravis may be referring to ...

or

Here are some Marilyns local to @Aravis (not including ones in Wales, you'll need to go to http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/MarilynRegions.php to look at those)

The Marilyn clue led me to Englefield House but no joy.

Bredon Hill (the one near Evesham in the map above) is a Marilyn that also has a folly.
Parsons’ Folly stands at the summit of Bredon Hill and is visible for miles around. The folly, being 39ft tall, takes the height of the hill from 961ft to exactly 1,000ft.
