It is a tricky one but much further south. Just put it up on this page.

Running alongside is a major roman road.

Is the roofline of the church distorted by the photo or does it actually have that stepped appearance in the middle section?

4M This is from a Google Earth photo. No there is not a step it is some sort of distortion in the photo.

The Roman road joined Watling Street with the Fosse Way. The church is Victorian and the architect designed part of London's Southwark Cathedral.

Never had any problems with mine apart from a/c because I never used it. Didn't know of this rumour. F...ing expensive to run and service though.

See edit. N Africa or maybe Pakistan.
