Generally, we wait for the poster of the picture to feed us a clue later if we are stuck.Leafy Warwickshire?
For example, if I posted a local picture it would be fine for someone to post "The dry stone walls look like those in West Yorkshire, where Colin is based" but it wouldn't be so good to ask "Is it in Yorkshire?", "West Yorkshire?", "Within 10 km of Hebden Bridge?" and so on, to avoid turning the game into merely one of '20 questions'!
(It does look like Warwickshire though!

Well spotted!
That's a good example of what I was getting at (if you are correct!) - sharing information to narrow the search seems like a good idea if you don't have the time/inclination to do the search yourself.
An answer to "Which club organised that event?" would narrow the search too much, just as the Dragon Hotel pub sign did.

I must use my laptop to view these photos - when using a phone I often miss things that you lot spot!

I always rename my pictures to 'Name that road #xx.jpg', incrementing 'xx' each time to avoid giveaways like this...

If you have time, could you post a recent Google Street view pic, it would then be easier to find the exact location.

Or you could post the one that you are looking at so we could too!Clent's Hill, Selly Oak, Birmingham?

PS Someone I know is moving to Stourbridge, so not far from there. It looks nice.

No, neither Client Hill, nor Selly Oak. Nor Birmingham either for that matter, but you probably guessed that from the greenery.

Ha ha - which brings me back to the '20 questions' point...
We want "It's here...", with proof, NOT "Is it somewhere near there?" without proof!

As I stated, my guess was Clent Hill, Birmingham, but I couldn't find the exact road, so I wondered if it was possible to post a recent Google Street view picture. But, my guess was obviously wrong.
