Edit to my previous - the 92TS is at a station rather more modern than Epping - Possibly Loughton on the centre track. The electrified line through Loughton was opened on 21 Nov 1948 which is suspiciously close to today's date but not quite as precise as we have come to expect from our quizmaster.

No Chris, only to Colin D. Basically it said that the centrepiece of the image was the travelcard hybrid NSE EMU/DMS/1973 TS which is owned by Roger Wright and lives on his Epping-Ongar Railway at North Weald. I'm guessing therefore that the rest of the image is a 1992 TS at Epping.

A looks like the southbound platform at Kensal Green with the fast ex-LMS 25kV lines on the far right.

Could the link be that they are Tfl stations with an adjacent Network Rail OHLE line.

the inset is possibly the statue of the two snoggers at St Pancras

In that case, perhaps Inset A is Saviour Monastery of St Euthymius + Kremlin with Nativity of the Virgin Cathedral in the Suzdal Oblast

Inset A looks like a Russian Orthodox church - possibly the famous one in Suzdal

Bethnal Green for the main

Inset 3 might well be Cardiff in that case

Inset 3 looks wet enough to be Bristol Temple Meads - with one of Network Rail's DVT vehicles.

Given the distinctive steeple, Could it possibly be Budva?

I see - Hmm, in that case presumably Ulcinj is the culprit ["Bar" having been already mentioned.

There aren't many waterside towns in Montenegro - I'll go for Hercegnovi

My fault Chris - Kotor is of course in Montenegro - finger trouble.
If this coastal place is in Macedonia [FYROM] then Ohrid is the only place that has any water [and that's on a lakeside]. If its Montenegro then Bar seems most likely.

How about the Bay of Kotor in Macedonia -Very close to Croatia and well known to those of us who once served near there as a place not to visit!

Somewhere on the adriatic coast of Italy perhaps - somewhere like Pescara perhaps

The top picture looks like Dubrovnik in Croatia.

I'll go +1 for Richmond - that looks like the Star & Garter Home on the hilltop behind.

The brickwork strikes me as having a victorian feel to it - Could it be at one of the anti-French invasion forts dotted around the south coast otherwise known as Palmerston's Follies?

Given the "serrated wall" - could this be a defensive castle wall with these beehives being ammunition bunkers. Somewhere like Dover Castle would fit the bill perhaps.

Post by arun on Aug 20, 2019 12:15:07 GMT
The picture background looks like beehives - not the things that insects lurk & make honey in but the sort of things that people make and store explosives in - with wooden doors so that the blast [if it all goes TU] can easily escape and be channelled.
I would say that it is/was an ammunition factory somewhere in Britain.

The first inset is presumably another one of Dmitri's Soviet war memorial pics. This one looks like the one from Treptow Park in what used to be East Berlin.
