rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 12:27 on 9th March 2013 I'm having thoughts on Bude, take a look at this photo (It's very small) Roberts photo could have been taken from the other side of the biridge, it's just the style of the bridge over the river that got me thinking. Then again I may be totally wrong |
rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 15:50 on 9th March 2013 Yes I'm now sure it's Bude, I've found a photo on POE by Peter Evans and the bridge and building on the left are identical to the one in Roberts shot. Picture doesn't want to seem to post though bear with me !!

I'm thinking 1169861 is Bude as well going by the flag on the church. That just leaves the other bit of castle 1169862 which I don't think is Chepstow. Edited by: rustyruth at:9th March 2013 16:02 |
