Remembering the crash of the Turkish Airlines DC10 near Paris which happened 50 years ago today, also on a Sunday. Sleep well cousin Robert.

Why bother posting a challenge and then ignoring any response?

Seems like no-one's playing, it's the Pierre de Couhard near Autun, Burgundy (Roman name Augustodonum).

Open house

The pyramid shaped object in the centre is thought to be a funerary monument dating from about 2,000 years ago. At the time the nearby city was named after a Roman Emperor and to this day many Roman features can be seen here.

Right country but in a wine producing area

Europe but not UK

A month since the last entry! Let's get up and running again with this:

Cracked it Fox3. 'Right Here Right Now' was intended to point to Fat Boy Slim who married Zoe Ball here in 1999.

You're both too far North. Using motorways it's very approximately a two and half hour drive from both your suggestions.

The house was built in the early 18th C, probably on the site of an earlier building. The church was commissioned by the family who owned the house and dates from about 50 years later. The location is now a somewhat upmarket private members club and hotel aimed at media types and you have to be a me...

Although obviously in a very rural area this house and church are located in what was a coal producing area, between the wars there were at least three significant mines within a mile of here. The last mines in the coalfield ceased production around 50 years ago. Not particularly relevant I know but...

How about this:

Exactly right Smeagol, Charlie Chaplin lived in there when it was known as the Central London District school with his brother Sydney for two years around 1896. The film with a scene filmed there was Billy Elliot.

It's never had an industrial use. The location is not too far from tango15's guess, you could get to it from there by bus (with one change).

One scene from a well known British film featuring a dancer was filmed in this building.

Not Leslie Thomas or Kingston (although it is in the UK)

OK Ex A, have a go at this one: Woe 2.jpg This complex was built in Victorian times as a boarding school for children of the very poor - one pupil who lived here for a couple of years later became a VERY well known film star who's picture you would all immediately recognise should I post one. The sc...

It is Fox3. OH then.

Interesting but unfortunately incorrect suggestion Rossian. The tower is now unique and is the only survivor of a number of similar towers built just over two hundred years ago by the military as part of the response to a probably genuine threat from another country. It has been described as once be...

Not a time ball tower but at a stretch I suppose it could be said to be distantly related.

Thanks. Here's another:




Family about to arrive so away from pc for a while so if found just carry on.
