Surely anywhere is a dodgy place during Lockdown.

Where is it? Only Ramsbottom shows on Google maps and tallpaul has got that. There is reference to Upper Ramsbottom on Google but not as a particular town or village, that I can find anyway. If you know it, go get a photo.  :thumb:

Plenty of room on the sign for a graffiti 'S' in front of the H.

Already listed but was passing so a photo seemed appropriate.

Annoyingly, After Crackington Haven I passed through a small village called Bush just outside Bude. It was too late to stop, but there was nowhere to pull over for a photo at either of the village signs. Martin, you need to add this to the list! Screen shot from Google Street View for your amusement.
