Here's one which I can't work out myself. I took it in April 2004 and it's awfully familiar so I'll probably kick myself - but I just can't place where it's from right now. Any idea?

Old photo - guess the road....

Lorne road?

 

[editor]

I can see no one's ever going to get my photo, so I'll reveal all. It's the pub sign outside the Hero of Switzerland.

Out of interest, does anyone know the source of the "new" WIlliam Tell image on the pub sign. It looks to be a photo of a 1950s(?) children's book illustration.
