    Firstly, apologies for the quality of the photo. I've stiched two together which may make the little a bit dodgy. Anyway....

    We went up to Wentworth the other weekend and I took this photo. As you can see, the Town Hall is no the left and to the right of that is (I think) St Edwards church near Locke Park.

    Does anyone have any idea what-so-ever what the other two buildings are (I'm referring to the cream building but my arrow stops some way short of it, as well as the multistory building)? I haven't got a clue and I feel I ought to know.

    Ta.

    Is it up near Keresforth Hall/Ward Green area or am I miles away.

    Nice to see Red Arrows in Tarn.

    I think the building with the arrow pointing is a block of flats just as you've gone on keresforth hall road past park car park, I think the other will be john rideal house on Shambles Street.

    If you were in Wentworth how can the church near Lock Park be on the right of the town hall? Surely the everything west of the town hall would be to the left of it on the photo? Or am I as usual missing the obvious?

    Think he's talking Wentworth Castle not Wentworth Woodhouse.

    No you didn't, you went to Stainborough/Hood Green and took that. You'd have been shot for making that error 200 years ago!!
