osscat Posted February 16, 2011 Share #7021 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Osscot is presumably trying to be funny:rolleyes: but there is one thing in common between Bolsover and the location of my photo - both have been under the control of the Normans. 'Ascot' was being serious my twin great uncle Normans once occupied Bolsover Town Hall in a protest over the local Cotton Tax. PS: They were both in the first wave of troops to land on Sicilly and planted the family crest on the beaches and renamed the place Bolsover-by-the Sea. So there Edited February 16, 2011 by osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albireo_double Posted February 16, 2011 Share #7025 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Ok, I said I would post something in the evening, so here is something in the evening . Should be an easy one...name of town and country, please (name of the church would be a bonus, worth investigating as the story behind it is quite interesting, the saint's statue is on the top of the belltower) Edited February 16, 2011 by albireo_double Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted February 17, 2011 Share #7026 Posted February 17, 2011 It looks like the Church of St Euphemia in Rovinj, Croatia. I’ve never been there but I put my googling skills to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pintpot Posted February 17, 2011 Share #7029 Posted February 17, 2011 It's a gasometer (gas holder) - for a Town that did not have enough paint of the same colour:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted February 17, 2011 Share #7030 Posted February 17, 2011 Very good, Tony, it is a gasometer and you may well be right about the town. But which one? I will admit to having pumped up the colours somewhat but it is fairly lurid in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertekijker Posted February 18, 2011 Share #7033 Posted February 18, 2011 I tried 'colorful gasometer' on Google images, but nothing came up that looks like this one... ---------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 18, 2011 Share #7034 Posted February 18, 2011 Yes, I've tried that search. I suspect this is one where we will have to keep guessing. So here's my guess - is it in Leeds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted February 18, 2011 Share #7035 Posted February 18, 2011 It is reachable via Google images but only with some difficulty. Mine isn’t the only photo of it. I think it’s time for a clue to narrow down the search. It’s in southern England and it is a prominent landmark in the town where it stands. No, not Leeds, Ian.
