I'll be honest here, I thought it was taken from the opposite direction, now I know I don't know the area it was taken form but was looking at it when I typed my last post.Edit: I remember a few years ago now commenting to a friend that '12" pizza £3.00" would soon be replaced with "30cm pizza €5". We're not there yet (thankfully in my opinion) and pints keep looking safe so hopefully we'll get to keep our traditional measurements when they are more appropriate.[usually I'm in favour of metric for practical reasons, but "A pint" is a tradition 50cl is not. "wastage" will likely make the difference slight anyhow.]

Looked again. Wrong word, but I have to admit to 'perspective' problems.Town Hall & Civic Hall?High buildings to left of Town Hall ?Now it looks like a composite of photographs from Cemetery Road - which is in Beeston. In a different order?The Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show featuring André Previn refers.
