Guess the City

Glasgow? The houses in the distance look Scottish.

that looks like the A38 into bristol

it does look a bit bleak for the south. don't recognize the junction, but ... sheffield?

Yes, that might be what I'm thinking of!

A6177

Got it, heading into Bradford

Stupid question but are you manually blurring the number plates or are these from google street view?

They're from google streetview, which autoblurs number plates (at least most of the time). Images are as is!

oh I knew I'd seen it before. I made several journeys through that junction taking my dog to the Bradford PDSA a couple of years back.

Got it, heading into Bradford

― or something,

Correct, Bradford it is xp

it's a lot prettier approaching the Keighley side of Bradford through the beautiful desolation of Bronte country.

I didn't pick the best shot thats for sure!

I didn't mean to pick one with a junction for Bradford because of the next choice

weekend view

Looks like US signage. Palm trees. Looks a bit green for California. Maybe Florida?

Could be anywhere along the Gulf Coast tbh

As an ex-Floridian my first thought was that's Florida, but I would say East Coast. Boca Raton or Delray Beach, somewhere around there.

US cities are the toughest to find, so many of them

i want to say those are florida east coast railway tracks, but every time i drop down beside them in street view the landscaping is rougher

Pompano Beach, never heard of it. Thanks to the clues above I dropped at several crossroads in florida with a highway running parallel to the tracks before stumbling across it

Awesome! I spent a lot of time in Pompano back in the day. It's two towns south of Boca Raton, so I was close. That was tricky because along those railroad tracks, even within the same city, there are some very skanky stretches as well as some nicely landscaped ones as in the photo.

Good work! Yeah I did think after I posted it that I should have picked a less landscaped stretch

Monday back to work

definitely china

I'm getting Chesterfield vibes, pedestrian rocking the tight black leggings and big foofy boots look noted.

for a second I thought I saw a badge of the Barsnley fc mascot on the rear side window that little white car that looks a bit like a Clio. I magnified it and it seems more like Barney Bear.

oops I forgot Chesterfield isn't a city, the famous spire made me think there was a cathedral!

my final proper guess is going to be Nottingham

Not much to go on there, could be anywhere in England from the midlands up. Is that a St George flag in the back of that car? If so I'd may be rule out one of the larger,more cosmopolitan, northern cities and maybe guess Derby?

there isn't an external intruder alarm box on every single house, it's some kind of utopia!

Not Derby then

Or Stoke-on-Trent.

can't find exact spot on google maps but p sure its hell

Kingston-on-Hell?

Sorry, Kingston upon Hell

i feel like i say this for every question but is that sheffield (abbeydale, specifically)?

looks a bit flat for Sheffield but maybe that's why it was chosen

xps

if you guys think that place looks like hell, you should see Manor Park!

Vaguely reminds me of parts of Southampton and the geography mostly fits (the rising land in the distance).

Gonna go with Rochdale for some reason

how strict are we being about "city"?

Guess the Census-Designated Place

No matter how lax you are Rochdale can never be a city.

So far I've learned that there are endless minor variations of window lintels on terraced houses in the UK (but none quite like in the picture yet) and that Sunderland has a surprising number of single story terraces

This is a pic of the Creswell Model Village in Chesterfield aka what was the poshest council estate in England I've ever seen. But some of the surrounding houses in the area looked a bit like the houses in that pic. But lol, that sure narrows it down.

I think Giorgio de Chirico was a very mediocre artist but he did successfully visualise the claustrophobic angst of perspective in some way... not even sure if that makes any sense.. but anyway it's definitely Wakefield.

An alternate view

Doncaster?

Bonus Beats, as alternate view is probably too similar to original view

I think it's already been mentioned by Tom D, Stoke?

looks a little like Bosom Manor to me

I've been combing through Stoke trying to find that terrace with no joy. The raised ground in the background reminded me of looking from Stoke towards Newcastle-under-Lyme
