Game: Name that road!

[T4tomo]

As I like a theme, there is obviously something else linking the locations too.

and when I say obviously, I mean quite obvious, if you're observant.

Middlewood Lane where it crosses the cinder track.

 

[T4tomo]

well done.

Yes the cinder track leads to Ravenscar which is the cliff you can see in the background (and onto Scarborough)

I presume there must have some sorted gated level crossing there back in the day, but the streetview car wasn't down there in the 1950's....

It looks like it was a railway bridge over the road.

Some of you may have been up here, but its not on a obvious route, although it is a Strava segment but what hill isn't ?

Robin Hood's bay?

Instinctively, I knew it was near Robin Hood's bay, I've walked along that coastal path a few times, it's a very distinctive coastline.

The picture says Gloucestershire to me - is it wrong?

I was thinking of the Five Valleys, but there are a lot of roads there, and not found it so far.

 

[Venod]

Ok time for a clue or two I think.

The road is in Yorkshire, ColinJ of this forum has organised quite a few rides in Yorkshire, this road is close to one of them.

 

[Venod]

Taken a few feet further back.

Town Hill and the Swan, Bramham. A clue too far, perhaps?

It now looks a much gentler hill than I'd expected. I was imagining something much more vertical. And I thought the stone looked much more like Cotswold before the clues came along.

 

[GuyBoden]

Yes, the clues made it far too easy, the Pub sign is listed as a Google image too.

Yes I made it easy, I didn't think there was much interest, perhaps I should have left it with the @ColinJ ride clue, his flat 100 from Garforth passes within half a mile, up Windmill Road.

Over to you.

 

[ColinJ]

I wouldn't have recognised it because we don't go that way. I certainly would not forget Windmill Road though because it is very hard work on the singlespeed bike that I always use on that ride!

 

[Aravis]

Thanks @Venod.

For the next one, a road I purposely routed myself along earlier this year because I thought it might make a good NTR. Now to find out if I was right:

Peachfield Road, Malvern
