The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk II

Well found, WF.
The Pigeon House, Rivington Pike. This was built in 1910 for Lord Leverhulme as part of his vast ornamental gardens on the side of Rivington Pike.
It is built in gritstone and is four storeys high each storey having a single room accessed by a semicircular stair turret on the West side.
The lowest level is the entrance which is cut into the hillside, the first and second floors were dovecote's each having light chamfered mullion windows and dove holes in the external wall with landing places for the birds.
The third floor was designed as a sitting room and has windows on the North & South sides, it is said that Lady Leverhulme used this floor as a sewing room.
The tower fell into disrepair in the 1970's but was repaired in the 1980's.

I didn't exactly find it, Pugs, I was born nearby

[Cpt_Pugwash]

[wings folded]

Yorkshire people would not call that an advantage

I think this should be very easy.

V&A Waterfront, CapeTown.
I was not born nearby, but it is fairly famous

[Capetonian]

I said it was easy ............ over to you!

It's the Clock Tower and is the starting point for the tours to Robben Eiland from the Nelson Mandela Gateway. It would be a long walk - not to freedom - but to the other side of the arm, if they hadn't built a swing bridge. Before that, there was the 'Penny Ferry'.

Still OH

[Woody]

Not my photo, but I have been there

[Capetonian]

Me too!
It's in the Lofoten Islands in the north of Norway. Going there next month on a cruise, although probably not that far up.

In addition to the subject in the foreground, this small town also has associations with Alice in Wonderland, the Beatles, Andy Pandy and Kylie Minogue.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Artnoon all.

That looks like the Winston Churchill statue at Westerham.

OH if confirmed.

[om15]
