Duxford is too obvious, so Bottisham?

I'll give you the obvious one since you mentioned it :)

It's the main hangar at Duxford. I did say I expected it to go quickly.

Do they have a Vulcan and Lancaster at Bottisham?

I doubt it, I just assumed you were being devious!

I'm no good at disguising the source of pics, so going on autopilot until somebody fancies taking control

Maybe time for a clue, this bridge shares its name with a well known London landmark and the colour of the umbrellas may help you narrow down your search 👀

It seems to be the Shard Bridge over the River Wyre; the significance of the umbrella colour is lorst on me though.

OH if correct.

The umbrellas are tangerine, the colours of Blackpool FC, not a million miles away :D

You are correct though, O/H is declared.

OK sticking with football this is the only place I have ever been to a football match and that was just once. Taken about 1962. Famous team.

Can't seem to post the photo so still O/H.

Knowing your links to Manchester, I’ll have a guess at Old Trafford :)

The family home was in Hale which is pretty close to Alty. Bury is probably 20 miles North.
Bury is more a Wod answer 'cept I don't do footy. Seem to think Little Bro was taken to Bury by a chap 4 doors up the road
