Also that's one house per corner? no back area, weird.

Yeah I think Ive only seen that type in Leeds, but I'm not anywhere near as familiar with the housing stock of other big northern towns. (I remember someone who worked in housing there in the early 90s telling me that the vast tracts of these back to backs in north-east Leeds were the highest density housing in Europe; even most of those had little front yards.)

If you're right then we've dodged the bullet of having to look at more photos of Leeds.

Rochdale?

I'll take this as the guess and it is correct, Leeds it is. Though south-west Leeds, not north-east. Holbeck to be precise

JFC those terraced neighbourhoods are depressing (been google streetviewing though Holbeck just now)

I've seen worse. A lot worse.

I lived in two or three back-to-back houses like that in Leeds, they were solidly-built and fine to live in. You really are living close to other people though, you can hear life going on through the walls on three sides.Best not think about the risk of fire with only one way in and out, of course.
― Tim, Sunday, 24 January 2021 12:13 (three years ago) link
There was the occasion when a friend of mine was up to no good with a young lady in one of these, on the next street along from his actual girlfriend of the time. He hadn’t worked out that these two women’s bedrooms shared a back wall. Unfortunately my friend had an extremely characteristic smoker’s cough at the time and found himself dumped in short order.

Hmm I think I've worked it out but googling what I did to do so, for such a quick result, seems a little..unsporting.
― nashwan, Monday, 25 January 2021 23:18 (three years ago) link
I did think someone would probably get this one quite quickly

I'll just give it a few minutes if someone else knows without needing to do cursory research of Europe's tallest urban viaducts.
― nashwan, Monday, 25 January 2021 23:28 (three years ago) link
that bridge/viaduct is distinctive - not that i can find it via google

Luxembourg?
― pomenitul, Monday, 25 January 2021 23:32 (three years ago) link
it is, yes
― ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 25 January 2021 23:34 (three years ago) link
did you get it from the viaduct or via another method?
― ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 25 January 2021 23:38 (three years ago) link
ARGH I knew it looked familiar, and I did a similar Google search
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 01:40 (three years ago) link
I've been to Luxembourg and that photo sparked some distant memories.

xxxpost, but seriously, how do you look at that photo and guess, correctly, Vladivostok on the first guess? i'm genuinely curious.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 08:26 (three years ago) link
yeah i'm stumped too, I don't see anything distinctive in that night photo
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 26 January 2021 08:53 (three years ago) link
I would never have got the Vladivostok one. I came across some good Vladivostok shots a couple of weeks ago and was going to use one. It does have a distinctive feel - but thats in the daytime. Night time shots are really tough
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 09:09 (three years ago) link
Struggling with that last one too. I thought the lights might be a clue
― budo jeru,
I checked and they have similar lights (that I could fine) but with two bulbs not three (this was near the Duma)
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 09:11 (three years ago) link
how do you look at that photo and guess, correctly, Vladivostok on the first guess?
1. Ex-Soviet apartment blocks2. Port town3. If you zoom in, there's a truncated word that gives you a partial clue
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 13:03 (three years ago) link
These are too easy, let's go back to Podunk, Arkansas (pop. 3,220).
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 January 2021 13:05 (three years ago) link
Yeah there's a "Sollers" sign, makes sense (in the Vladivostok photo)
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 13:09 (three years ago) link
I think the last one might be Samarkand?
