Thank you Ex A, we have searched high and low for churches, railway stations, pubs and so on, but haven't looked for a public convenience lately.

Where is this loo? for a rollover bonus point name the pub which is behind it down a lane on the left.

You are all in the right area but haven't named the county, as well as spotless loo's this town has several good pubs, a railway station and a Waitrose, and a castle, and an abbey.

I would have thought Wiltshire which (apart from that festering carbuncle called Swindon) is a pleasant county with much to offer, but I can't find anywhere that has both an abbey and an extant castle.

It is Sherborne, the Abbey is in the background of the photo, the pub around the left hand corner is The Digby Tap. Favourite destination for a stroll, bustling but not too busy, has a market on Friday, forgot to mention the bookshop.

FD2 has it and OH declared.

It was just that the guttering looked rather German, however the trees are not, puzzled.

Have I posted it before? Maybe on TOP but not here. Not sure. Anyway please go ahead Smeagol take the chair at the famous bar where many distinguished bums have polished the leather seats.
