Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
OK, keeping with the bridge theme. I deliberately left a clue in the picture.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I have a feeling that it just might be somewhere around London.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I thought so too, but cannot find a footbridge adjacent to tennis courts in that area.

The tennis court wasn't the clue

There are apparently 156 above-ground stations on the London Underground.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Had an idle 10 mins before turning in, spotted it was a four track set up with an island platform on the LU line so started looking in the Dagenham area and found Elm Park station on the District Line. Nothing ready so must say OH if correct.
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I was wondering how you arrived at four tracks, but I guess it's the width of the bridge. Two District Line tracks and a couple of mainline ones heading off to Upminster and Sarfend/Shoeburyness.
It is indeed Elm Park Station. I used to walk to school across that bridge. Back then there was a clear view of the station itself, the greenery has grown up a lot since.
OH declared.

I can!
Biddenden, Kent
The sign reflects the Biddenden Maids, allegedly conjoined twins born in the village in 1100. (Or so Wiki tells me)

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Thank you DBx. Change of topic this time.
Where is this house, being admired by Mrs S, which was the residence of a quite well known artist? And for a bonus point who was he?

I think that we are in St Ives, at the former house of Alfred Wallis.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Thought that might not last long, well found om15. I shall be a few miles away in Penzance next week but will probably avoid St Ives at this time of year, full of emmets (holiday makers, trippers, etc.). St Ives is best visited 'out of season'.
Over to you om.

Thank you, back to pubs,
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Good morning, here is a view of the side of the pub, but it does show the buildings in front as a clue.

New boy here, I joined because I used to live about a km from Biddenden.
