This is what i got, so i would say town.


Back to the UK for today's offering. It's a Mill town but it's NOT in Lancashire.

My best guess is Macclesfield. Those houses on the hill look a bit "Cheshire". Other ideas: Hebden Bridge? Todmorden? New Mills? Mossley? Marsden/Slaithwaite/Linthwaite?

Google Earth does West Yorkshire well. If you've got a fast link and some time on your hands you could follow all the canals.

Do you have a higher-res picture? I'm wondering whether that green and white sign would be readable.

Looks familiar to me but can't place it. Dewsbury or thereabout?

Without the houses behind it I'd have said Pleasley Mills near Mansfield, I'll have a go at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire.

See Google Images are the key to success. For a close picture I searched for Converted Mill
