the other huge clue I'm guessing is what appears to be part of pub sign on the RH side of the picture

While waiting for inspiration, you can always try to figure out the spoon clue from a few days ago. Surely someone knows their US presidents?

Dogtrousers has one big clue correct and im sure there are a number of villages with one. A look at the traditional building should narrow it down to one area of the country.

There was a president Millard Fillmore. Which relates to your M'Lard clue.
But I don't get the spoon reference, or the connection between the president and the location.

No, me neither. The m'lard and the spoon stuff didn't make much sense to me even in retrospect. But it was solved eventually...
Flagpoles and giant rats or alpacas ho!

Seems to have something unusual about the ridge of the roof. A drying house of some sort?Dogtrousers has one big clue correct and im sure there are a number of villages with one. A look at the traditional building should narrow it down to one area of the country.

Looks like you’re going to need some help. More might have cycled the higher reaches of this dale than this point.
if I’d stopped the camera further back on the road there would be something else distinctive on the green which wasn’t there in my childhood days. It would have also revealed the rest of the sign for all to see.
I used to cycle there summer evenings to swim in the river and a bridge downstream has a connection with a Spitfire. The bridge upstream was a useful connection for anyone riding the LEL route.
Mr Celine revealed to us recently his knowledge on wall building. The answer is in moving tonnes of stones to get the result.

Well done Ming. I thought the pub( The Four Alls) building, it’s roof and stone, very Teesdale but that might be because I knew where it was.
Im surprised a search for "maypole" didn’t throw up Maypole Village https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/91058.

Here you go. Hopefully the snow will add a bit of mystery to the road, if it's too hard I have a backup photo from same day. First find the area from the dry stone wall technique!
