Where am I?

[GrimsbyPacer]

Nelson?

 

[Marton]

Neither. But the right zone of latitude

 

[Darren R]

Baildon

 

[Marton]

Baildon

Correct

Your floor

 

[Darren R]

Open Floor

Is that image of Baildon not upside down, i.e. north at the bottom? Although I can't see anything explicit in the rules about rotation could it be described as doctoring?

It certainly makes guessing the location rather more difficult.

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

My first attempt. North is towards the top.
Railway starts in ESE of picture and bends towards the WSW around a single platform station. The pier used to have a railway station on it too. Industrial estate north of the line, small town below it. It's flat land. Sorry for angle, had trouble getting image off Google on my phone.

If it's not up to scratch you can ignore and start your own picture.

New Holland?

There wasn't the need to describe the route as you had given a good picture with lots of information on it even if the railway wasn't overly visible.

North being up is maybe the standard but I don't see why it should be necessary. We live on a sphere, there is no definitive "up".

Is it Appleford near Abingdon?
On the Northwards debate, I've seen Scottish Rail maps with Scotland at the bottom.

I apologise. I think it is rotated by about 180 degrees. Not sure how.

If I ever get to post again I will be more careful.

Nope, sorry

Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire?
Whalley in Lancs?
Mobberley in Ches?
Langwith Whaley-Thornes in Notts?
Dove Holes in Derbs?
Tanworth in Arden in Worcs?
Builth Road in Powys? This is my best guess.
White Notley in Essex?
Millbrook in Beds?
Ashchurch for Tewkesbury in Gloucs?
Yalding in Kent?
Micheldever in Hamps?
Bere Ferras in Devon?
That's all my guesses.

Your best guess is the only one in the right country, but still isn't correct I'm afraid.

Bearing in mind the rule 'You are allowed to block out place names from extracts (providing it is subtle) but no other form of doctoring is allowed)',
I, personally, would consider rotating the map to be 'doctoring' as map convention is that north is at the top.

Is it Chirk near Wrexham?

No, sorry, too far north

Only in the northern hemisphere.
