The Capetonian WOE Thread

We know it is USA, looks as though it might be in the southern part, we are by a harbour, the building is glammed up but looks utilitarian, particularly the far end section, it has a big chimney which indicates a factory or something like that. There are vertical flags that are seen outside museums or shopping malls, maybe a traders outlet like the place at Swindon railway museum.
The poster has said he has been there many times, why would he do that? is it a theatre or casino, or has he just bought lots of cheap shoes.

Sorry forgot I was in the chair. Yes OM15 naval connections. Yes it was a factory now as you say shopping mall, museum and an art gallery I think. Edit, just checked, very much art. I only saw the pub and museum.

Bar OM15 bar! No shopping involved. Yes we are USofA but not down south.

Just get it back on this new page.

There's a lot of sh*te in the water so I'm guessing maybe a fish quay nearby. Howzaboot Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco?

[Ex-Ascot]

You are correct about the water 4M in fact it is forbidden by the authorities to swim in there but not San Fran

Ex A has visited often, where did Ex A go often, Washington with the VC10, so I looked there, we are in southern Washington at the Torpedo Factory,

Buggerit , I’d figured out the area, but just couldn’t find the right place, good challenge EX-A

I had lunch sat outside a cafe in this street today, black pudding salad, it was very nice.

[om15]

This street contains buildings dating to the 16th and 17th centuries and has a stream running down the middle fed by the spring at the local church.

Somerset stone?...

That's the Market Place in Frome with Cheap Street just beyond. My wife's first job on leaving school was as a clerk in that HSBC Bank - it was of course the Midland Bank then.

[om15]

That's it, DBx on the tee.
Frome is very nice, market day yesterday and quite busy, has good bookshops.

Cheers om. Where's this:

I am 100% sure that those of us of a certain age will have no trouble getting the spelling of this town correct!

[om15]

Good clue Horace.

This is not without controversy, I found this letter when looking for this, we are in Keynsham by the way

[DBx]

Nice one om! Take it away.

[om15]

Let's have one for the spotters,

[G-CPTN]

Not England.

[Wodrick]

Those CL44s ?

[om15]

Not Cl44s.

Here is a better view of the runway.

[Wodrick]

Are they Britannias then or that commie thing whose number I forget
