I have been scanning my old photos and have had an idea for a quiz

Try not to make them too obscure - ie NOT my uncles house in Liverpool etc

Where was this taken ?

    This is a great idea @Wibbles but I also have no clue!

    I might hazard a guess if either building was in isolation, but with them together nothing is springing to mind...

    The temptation to use the “search by image” function on Google is strong…

    Try it and report back!!
    Bear in mind that although the photo was taken some 30 years ago - nothing has changed in the area and it IS in UK

    I do not think without a big clue anyone is going to get this.

    OK  a clue "the city in the USA that was named after this UK place was previously known as Strawberry Banke"

    A further clue "The building on the right was once named after a Swiss city"
