Guess the City

I was going to give this one a go but looking at the picture is making me a bit sad

London

nah

Chelmsford?

Not Chelmsford.

Another view:

worcester

sadly not Worcester

I also lived in Worcester, no

Slough

We've been told this is actually a city, also in the South. Does not leave that many realistic options.

Not Slough.

most the Southern cities look comparatively quite picturesque from my map adventures tonight, this looks grim enough to be somewhere between Leeds and Dewsbury.

I must have checked every fucking Shell garage in every city from Sheffield southwards

Chihchester

sadbury? depressionford?

Think it might be Gloucester

Not Chichester or Gloucester.

Is it Plymouth?

*Gloomcester

Not Plymouth.

Melchester

Exeter is my last guess.

I'm going to be embarrassed if it turns out to be Exeter but I don't think it is it's not just that I don't recognise either shot ,it's that I'd expect to see some evidence of the red Devon stone somewhere if it was.

My guess is Chichester, although I thought I recognised a roundabout and I can't place it on the streetview.

Haha and I see you've already ruled Chichester out.

I once spent a night wondering around Exeter and sleeping in the bus station after missing the last northbound national express coach on a sunday afternoon about 20 odd years ago. But usually I've just passed through on a train en-route to Newquay. So I don't claim to know the place - just a wild guess.

I thought I was being clever with Klagenfurt but it's shit town uk that's stumped us all

I wonder if this is an old pic and the petrol garage switched companies - feel like I've google every southern city + Shell by a motorway/dual carriageway and no match

Same here

I've tried "virgin media" as well

I note that Guildford and Milton Keynes are missing from the map of cities above. Haven’t made either fit but maybe others are missing? Or maybe I’m not good at making things fit.

They're not cities

Got it, Salisbury

ha I did see that one but dismissed it foolishly

I couldn't see any Russian agents at the Shell cashpoint

I somehow expected Salisbury to look better than that. But I suppose nice photos aren't what the thread is about. I've almost certainly been in Salisbury at some point.

Difficult one, I felt like something would emerge from the image but nothing did and I didn't have a clue. Then cities were being whittled down through collective trial and error at a rapid pace and it still seemed to elude everyone even as the number of available cities dwindled!

kudos on finding the exact spot, still. Even with the process of elimination I was still nowhere near

Salisbury it is, well done. jim in vancouver may have got it before but he gave Hardy's name for reasons beat known to himself.

best known, d'oh

Is this photo taken at the start of a car race?

Not as far as I'm aware

It's a serendipitous streetview guess the city moment

Getting a South America vibe, but not much more than that yet

it looks like the inner suburb of copenhagen where i lived when i studied abroad. somewhere in amager.

there aren't leaves on the trees, so i think it's a temperate or cold climate. those terracotta roofs and the small cars seem northern european. i don't see a bike lane though so it's likely not in denmark.

Looks Eastern European to me

Feels a little too dusty mountainous for Denmark
