Guess the City

Sadly no

the houses look like they might be big enough to be flats, which makes me think it's a biggish city.

Birmingham?

I think its a Tesco Extra. They seem to have slightly different designs from the other ones though I don't know what significance is

Not Birmingham

Glasgow?

I don't think this is the UK

yeah there's something fishy about those houses.

old guy seems to be walking to the right hand side though, which suggest left hand drive.

dublin?

Thought the houses might be student accommodation

There are also Tescos in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Not Glasgow or
Dublin

Aren't those uk national lottery signs, at the end of the blue line?

Looks like it.

Torquay?

It does look like the seaside. I feel like I've been there!

I had that feeling as well! I walked that part of the coast a couple of years back and swear I walked up that street. There's probably a name for that. (Senility? Hiraeth?)

getting more Plymouth vibes than Torquay if it is a coastal city, even though I've only ever seen it from a train! I checked a few Plymouth Tesco petrol stations and couldn't find a match for the one above.

Neither of those

Looks a lot like the Mumbles but not finding anything similar on street view

those street lights make me think of somewhere posh, heritage-y, like richmond

It's not Newcastle, is it?

London

No wait, I take that back.

Bristol?

Bangor?

bulb after bulb out of nowhere with the correct answer, well played

How did you do it?

don't you remember the time we went to Bangor?

ha.

Was thinking Ireland, so GISed ferris wheel Ireland, looking for the blue stanchions.

If you move forward in streetview that wheel disappears, guess it's not permanent. Thought I'd leave it in to make things easier after three days of increasingly sparse responses tho

I have such a knowledge of Tesco petrol station architecture variations now.

Feeling possibly somewhere in Wales

I don't get it! Bangor was one of the first tesco's I checked on streetview but it doesn't look like that

This is Bangor in N Ireland

They've put one there now as well?

Hey, spare a thought for me. I was streetviewing N Irish Tesco petrol stations this morning, there are two of them, I checked one of them (the wrong one, as it turns out) but for some unaccountable reason skipped over the second.

^ two in Bangor, I mean

another. Bangor.

(n.b., joke handcrafted for breastcrawl)

It was meant to be: hadn't looked in on the thread in a few days and finished Great Granny Webster last night:

The Clandeboye Estate is a country estate located in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, 12 miles (19 km) outside Belfast. . .

The estate is also the inspiration for Dunmartin Hall in the 1977 novel Great Granny Webster by Caroline Blackwood, who lived at the hall as a child.

(did not make this connection until after I found the ferris wheel, mind) great book!

another. Bangor.

(n.b., joke handcrafted for breastcrawl)

I checked dozens of Tescos in Slovakia, Poland, Czechia and Hungary for this on Friday, started doing Ireland and N Ireland as well (on Saturday, I guess), but didn’t follow thru. There’s only so many Tesco stations a person can take in in one lifetime. I finally got a handle on navigating Streetview in the process, so it wasn’t all for nothing

I'm still confused where the petrol station is

Where Old Belfast road meets Killeen Ave

Ah, google maps put it in a slightly different location and I couldn't find it

For a second I was like 'whoa is that a bear'

Is this one of the many cities with extensive streetview coverage in Mexico that got referenced during the Salta guesses?
