⁉️ Where are we WEDNESDAY?
Welcome back to our fortnightly 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘? post! Each time, we introduce a selection of fascinating photographs from our collection that may depict somewhere you recognise.
This one has us stumped a bit as the perspective is tricky with the significant amount of infrastructure that has been built in Bude. We have had some fantastic suggestions and have the following suggestions:
- Just below Berries Mount on Stratton Road
- St Anne’s area at the too of King’s Hill
- One of the most detailed answers from one of followers (thank you Richard): A train is visible to the left of what was Pethericks store on the canal (now flats). View is at about 90 degrees to that building over the marshes. In the foreground it looks like there’s a road between the photographer and the house on the left. The chap in the photo has a surveying instrument and seems to be standing in front of a field of rubble? Trying to apply the photo to a modern OS map, I’m guessing this is a building site somewhere up Valley Road – perhaps Warwick Close?
