Yesterday is still open for business, and apologies for being a bit early, but the shifts dictate early posts this week! Today, a single part question, but with three extra points up for grabs. For ease, the insets are numbered one to three from left to right.  *Click image for a larger version* |

The main picture cries out L&SWR,and even has BR "OFF" signal and loudspeaker visible.My Guess is Wimbledon Pk.
Inset C looks very much like Camden Lock,looking East from the roadbridge.

I have to be careful here, because I'm awfully bad at not recognising my own photos! But I'm pretty sure that inset 1 is the Peter Pan statue in Hyde Park and that it isn't my photo!

On top of the same hill as the Old Greenwich Royal Observatory is a statue of General James Wolfe, (1727-59) looking out towards the river Nice one! Never would have guessed it! |
