You got there eventually om15, it is indeed the National Theatre in Taipei. Took the picture a couple of days ago.

Your go!

Thought it was an old fashioned village lockup initially but now think I've got it tracked down to the 16C pumphouse at Little Walsingham, Norfolk.

The pump house was built in c1550 and has a brazier on top, which is lit at times of special celebration.

Not just similar Cpt but exactly the same! The preserved Routemaster was there as part of the annual Fenland Busfest on May19th.

You're in the driving seat.

You were correct with your first shot, the wild west of rural England, in fact.

I can't find the building, but from your clue could it be Winnard's Perch, near St Columb Major in Cornwall.

Artnoon all.

Not quite so far west as Cornwall, OM, and a little further north.
