That's Market Street in Ulverston?

@MontyVeda 's screengrab from Google StreetView is the 2016 whereas the above is 2018

I think it might be somewhere near the centre of Lancaster.

I've checked Lancaster.

Or Cockermouth!

Well done, obviously, I didn't check Ulverston.

 

[MontyVeda]

Well done Buck. I thought that'd go quicker as Ulverston is quite recognisable if you've visited, and it is on the Bay Cycle Way.

I'd spotted the GG car that day whilst having a bite to eat and expected to find myself on street view sat on the bench... but no. I must've been in Tesco buying my lunch.

 

[Buck]

It threw me a little when I had found it but not your bike then I noticed the cars etc were different hence me looking at older street views

Here is my offering. One small pointer is that the tall sign dead centre is not on Streetview.

Fill your boots and name that road!

 

[MontyVeda]

is that a disused railway embankment in the middle?

lot of trees on it for a railway (current or former) is it possibly a canal, or it may just be another road that had some earthworks done when it was built

I thought that "fill your boots" might be telling us to look at Eskdale, in which case the embankment could be the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.

Hopes swiftly dashed as usual, unless I'm missing something in plain sight.

 

[Buck]

“Fill your boots” isn’t a direct clue. @MontyVeda may be onto something…

the trees appear to be beyond it rather than on it... however trees will quite happily grow on a disused railway.

All I know is that it's probably in Yorkshire.

All I know is that it's probably in Yorkshire.

...and like Scotland having a lot of lochs, Yorkshire probably has a lot of disused railways. Can you deduce anything from the drystone wall? Is it millstone grit? Does that narrow it down?

There's something curious about the wall on the right too. It looks very ordered compared to the wall on the left

I deduce the wall on the left was built by a Lancastrian

...and driven into by a Yorkshireman

it could be a heritage line running steam & diesel.

I've been along the Wensleydale railway between Northallerton and Garsdale and am confident it's not that one
