Doc Martin is the series and the village is Port Isaac.

Very popular series in Finland.

Stayed in the school for a few nights a few years back.

Took a very similar picture to you.

That was quick!
Port Isaac it is, this was taken only a couple of weeks ago when Mrs S and I were spending some time in Cornwall. On a previous visit some years ago we, also, stayed in the old school!

Back to you, sir!

I am going to make it O/H until Friday, in the hope that others start to participate.

If nobody posts, I'll put another up.

OK, have a go at this one then:

National Trust (inc. Scotland) or English Heritage?

Liverpool Castle, Rivington?

Lancashire......I think

Talmacapt has it! Liverpool castle on the Leverhulme estate at Rivington, Lancashire.

O/H declared.

Thought it may be near DBx and vaguely recall going there on a peregrination toward the lake district some years back.

OK---I am sitting in my office for the day, so I will give you this:

Missoula County Court House USA, just like the sign above the entrance states.
O/H Easy one that.

That’s definitely a tricky one

Tricky? One could definitely say odd.

It is not a church and nor is it a pub.

A Radio Hut ?

My first thought was it was something to do with the Wright brothers.

I will try with something to do with a nuclear test.

Alaska mining site maybe

My guess too.

In 1967 on the island of Sal, the nerve centre of Santa Maria Oceanic looked like that. Inside was a swarthy looking operator sitting in front of one of these old fashioned microphones in a square frame with the working part suspended on four bouncy springs. Amazingly once we lumbered airborne in our Shackleton it worked! I hogged the radio on that leg wishing that I could have taken a picture of that chap at his desk but sounding as if he had his head in a bucket. It was an image from the days of Marconi.
As an aside, the nav was ecstatic about achieving a MERPASS as we crossed the equator. As our destination was Ascension it was the only time I was ever concerned about the ability of the nav. ASI wouldn't switch on the NDB until we called them with an ETA with an hour to go. We never did raise them on HF but we hit ASI on the nose. Phew!

The Ancient Mariner

PS I don't think our flight plan went any further than the spike sitting on the desk beside the mic.
