This photo is the Ypres Tower, possibly built in the 14th Century.Here is a description of the uses and an exact photo of what we are looking at here - I have assume, using these photos as a guide determine that these photos were taken c1920. Ypres Tower This is all thanks to @SkillsyOz from Twitter.
The following photo is of the River Orne, in Normandy. In the centre of the frame you can see what appears to a wheelbarrow outside a large 3 storey building. This is "Battery House'. Both these buildings suffered heavy damage in WWII, to be precise the 22nd September 1942. This information came courtesy of the assistance of @SkillsyOz from Twitter.

Someone should easily know where the cable car photo is taken. I hope so. It looks fascinating.
ReplyDeletetrying - I can only think Eurpe somewhere - thi first photos being paris and the 2nd appearing to be Belgium - It would make sense that these also belong in Europe
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment
Interesting collection of pics and I think all from different locations.
ReplyDeleteThe first one could be from the "Suisse Normande", a not too subtle dig that the mountains are pretty tame. It could be the river Orne.
On the other hand the truck is on the wrong side of the road for most of Europe so perhaps somewhere around Weston-super-Mare / Minehead
The key to this pic are the windows. Building tax was based on windows, size or qty so you will see significant differences depending on the way the tax was collected.
Four and possible five appear to be UK, Cotswolds, Chilterns even perhaps Market Harboro. I'm basing four on the type of roadside hedge and tudor design.
The chairlift could be in Austria, Switzerland, France or Italy or perhaps father a field but probably not UK
Ewen, My dearest, darling - I could kiss you! - Thanks to your comments about the River Orne, I have not only been able to identify a rough area, but I have been able to identify an exact building, with exact cross references.
ReplyDeleteThank-you
