It could be that the pictures are already on POE Peggy and CathyML; but its a case of doing some detective work, or wait for our clever members to resolve it. POE has many tens of thousands of pictures and I think you will agree that he or she who sits and checks out those tens of thousands of pictures would end up with a square backside! Lol

Hi Peggy, thanks for suggestions, your right Ron have now a designer "square backside", I spent about 5 days on the internet trying to match these pictures (including flickr) withough success, before I had the brilliant idea of asking POE members

When I can't find a picture of a place  on POE I look on Google and I find so many pics which have been uploaded to Google from members and many times I have wondered why are our POE pics not shown on Google, maybe it costs to do so, I think it would be good to know any place which have not been covered then hopefull a near-by member could rectify it, I always look at our local map then check if there are pictures, if not,(which is getting very unlikely) I head for that place. I love the little tucked away villages,

You are probably correct Peggy; all about cash I suspect but I don't know the answer and will ask C&S next time I see them.

mmm  yes, I think the 3rd pic is typical of Kent, perhaps a barn conversion that was used to dry Hops used in beer-making.

cant place the castle possibly norman and very low walls, maybe part of a monastry, possibly in a low lying county, midlands or other.

i dont recognise the street scene, dont think its york or chester, i think it was taken  in the late '90's' going off the style of the traffic (perhaps if you could make out the letters on the car licence plate it may give a clue to the area). I note there is a moble tea/burger bar at the top of the street so possibly a railway station or street market there. good luck

When I uploaded the pictures of Mansell Gamage to POE there was no information on the village, so I googled to try to find out more, there was in fact very little on google, not even Wikipedia, but guess what, my pictures of Mansell Gamage came up in the google search, on the POE site. Probably only saw them because the information was so sparse.  So I guess they are all lurking there somewhere! Smile

Hi Lancashirelove, I see we sent info at the same time. The first photo  has square kilns which points to Hereford, Worcester area, the Kent ones tended to be round with a different shaped top!

I will check on the monastry theory around the North Riding (cos I think it is in Yorkshire), only checked castles and city walls

The third picture was probably taken around 1996 - good detective work, I wouldn't have been able to tell from the vehicles, ok with magnifying glass in hand, the number plates appear to end DAW or CAW or maybe M on the end, the other vehicle appears to be YAW - is this possible?
