Game: Name that road!

[Dogtrousers]

Just noticed the bit about a railway axed by Beeching. That means that the whole of the island of Ireland is out. I don't think even Beeching managed to axe any lines in another country.

These signs are in English only, so that rules out the small pockets of red-squirreldom in Wales.

My money is on Cumbria somewhere.

There is also the Isle of Wight, and Beeching did cut some lines there.

 

[ColinJ]

I think we got too many clues, too soon on this one!

Lostrigg Terrace, Bridgefoot.

 

[MontyVeda]

Well done Colin. One day someone else might name one of my roads. It's actually called School Brow, Lostrigg Terrace is just the houses on it

The whole of Ireland isn't in the UK so only the NI bit would be allowed in this game

As far as I can recall, we haven't had one from NI yet?

Family day out today so my next one may have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[MontyVeda]

I'm quite sure we've had Northern Ireland.

 

[Tribansman]

I'm quite sure we've had Northern Ireland.

Yep. The guy who listed it wanted to show how well travelled he was. He had an Ulsterior motive

 

[ColinJ]

I'm quite sure we've had Northern Ireland.

D'oh!!!

Aha! I think that is our first road in Northern Ireland?

I don't have OS maps for NI so that would explain why my OS map search wasn't helping!


up in the air = Up in (above?) Eire?

Good day out @ColinJ?

Good day out @ColinJ?

Ha ha!

Actually, it was, thanks... We had lunch at Exeter Quayside and I spotted a bike recycling charity shop. We donated an old Muddy Fox MTB which needed some TLC (a.k.a. 'replacing' ) and bought my niece a reconditioned Specialized hybrid bike to use between Exmouth and Exeter on the cycle route. She doesn't know it yet, but she will also be joining me for rides on some more serious cycling terrain once she has got some fitness and confidence on the bike - muhaha! The bike is a bit heavy but it will be good for shopping trips and potentially commuting. It already has mudguards fitted. I will buy her a rack and fit that for her.

Ok, my next road is shown below...

Some of my challenge roads have been very hard to find, but this should be much easier to track down - I think that you will be Happy with my choice!

That washing must be a majorly big clue

 

[Aravis]

Can we see the house where Tommy was holed up?

 

[robjh]

OK so we just need to work out which lane on the north side of a valley near or with a view of Hebden Bridge this is then.

 

[ColinJ]

Yes, it IS that valley!

The shadows could be a bit misleading. I would say that the picture must have been taken well before noon.
