Location Do you know where this found film photo was taken?

Hello,

I just developed a roll of Verichrome which had four images on it. My best guess is it had been in the camera for about 50 years, certainly no more.

Anyone know where this town is please?

On the right is Ivy Cottage bed and breakfast. The car in the foreground is a blue Ford bearing the registration PVY 355P, the last time a log book was issued for it was 1991. In the distance is a church or possibly a cathedral.
In the second picture the hoarding reads “Happiness is a warm earpiece”. Was that an advertising slogan from the 70’s?

PV registrations were Ipswich, I think. That cathedral should be familiar to someone. The road markings show West | North & East

It is the "VY" that you need to search, and that is for York/Leeds.

And it looks like York Minster in the background.

I think you could be right

Have you tried downloading it into Google Lens? My rson told me about it and it is accurate most of the time.

Worth a try?

Don't bother. It says the first photo was taken on Whitworth Rd, Rochdale.
I lived on that road for nearly 50 years and can assure you - it isn't there!!

Confirmation bias perhaps!

Just out of interest. I've watched a few of this guys vids, he finds the location pictures were taken at. I find it really interesting how he does it.

Ah, yes, that sounds more right than I was!
