Pictures of your home town

I recognize most of those areas Dougie and when I ride past the high hedge I know the great biking roads in the North of Scotland are only minutes away

I'll not bother posting photo's of my home town.... me and the wife drove back through it an hour ago having been to Peebles for fish suppers and we just commented on what a $hithole it's become.

 

Great pics Dougie of a lovely town,

 

Ditto!

 

Very picturesque - need a big step ladder for that hedge!

Here are a few of Winchester - originally the Roman town of Venta Belgarum.

The High Street - possibly the oldest street in England. There have been no alterations to the street pattern since the 9th Century.


The cathedral - major landmark and with the longest nave of any Gothic cathedral in Europe. (The interior was used to represent the Vatican shots in the Da Vinci Code film).


The old mill in the centre of the city.

Tudor buildings in the High Street

My favourite pub!

 

Looks a nice town Dougie, I'll have to pay a visit.
Steve, I liked Winchester, know it reasonably well, I used to bring my retired Greyhounds there collecting for the RGT only a few years back.
I lived in Bath, havn't got pictures of it but I'll paint you a picture.
RUINED!!!!!!!!!!Old Bath had the guts ripped out of it when the new centre was built, house prices sky high, council tax the same, nothing but shops you find any-where else, car parking extortionate, council only interested in cyclists, students and tourists!
Not a place to live, could'nt wait to move back up here!
Livingstone has been called 'The Basildon of Scotland', o.k. its got some bad area's but generally its o.k., our bit is quite sort after, and its in SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!
No intentions of moving again!

 

I know, real shame as Bath is one of my favourite places and we go to the rugby for most home games.

 

Cheers Bikerman, I was born in Bradford and have lived in Manchester, Aldershot, Reading, and Basingstoke so I think I deserve a break!

 

my little place. I love the countryside My house is on the right

 

Well you're surrounded by plenty of it!

 

sometimes the cows get in the way though

 

Born in York, have lived in Redcar, Yarm, Leeds, Sawtry in Cambridgeshire, Peterboro, Rushden, Bedford, Ringwood, New Milton, Marlow; Cuminestown, South Cushnie and Fyvie (all Aberdeenshire) Spalding, Northampton; Fresselines, La Cellette and soon Aigurande (all in France).

 

That a hard one to answer mate as there's been so many and we moved to improve our circumstances. If I had to pick one though it would be Fresselines as it was our first place in France and is really lovely. Follow the linky :

Well Aigurande doesn't look too shabby Dave!

 

No it's not Steve it's very nice and the typical French small town, but you'll be able to judge for yourself when you come over.

5 bars, 2 Bakers, 3 garages, 2 camping grounds, a couple of supermarkets. In fact everything a growing boy needs.

 

Ha ha "Le grand Rendez-vous" at Dave's new house - I like it!
