bertyboop   10 #1 Posted July 7, 2016 Hi, Me and my partner went on a drive a few years ago (we like to go to random places), and we came across a little village. Please help me identify it as I would love to go back!  It was a small village with a row of shops on one side and a building which looked like an old hovis factory (had hovis written on the side). Across from it was a spar shop. If you carried on up the road, there was a hill which was gated and said some in about war monuments?  I think it tool around an hour to get there, but we didn't use a satnav, just drove in random directions and stumbled across it.  Please help me find it as I would love to go back and take some photos!

tzijlstra   11 #5 Posted July 7, 2016 I like a challenge, but this one might be one too many.  I am going to hazard a guess and say that what you encountered was indeed a grain-store, rather than a Hovis factory. If it was, you were probably in (Northern) Lincolnshire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
F. Sidebottom   10 #6 Posted July 7, 2016 Ok, lets narrow it down slowly.  What country were you in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hambeast   10 #7 Posted July 7, 2016 Ok, lets narrow it down slowly. What country were you in?  Given they drove an hour out of (presumably) Sheffield, I cant imagine they got as far as France Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
F. Sidebottom   10 #8 Posted July 7, 2016 Given they drove an hour out of (presumably) Sheffield, I cant imagine they got as far as France  But they don't state where they set off from.  Even France is only an hour away from some places.

Hambeast   10 #9 Posted July 7, 2016 But they don't state where they set off from. Even France is only an hour away from some places.  Given this is Sheffield Forum, I think its safe to assume they set off from Sheffield or the immediate area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jasd75 Â Â 10 #10 Posted July 7, 2016 I think it tool around an hour to get there, but we didn't use a satnav, just drove in random directions and stumbled across it. Â A starting point would be good, we can then look at a map to determine the area you could be in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hillgirl   10 #11 Posted July 7, 2016 Could this be in Macclesfield area, I think Hovis has origins there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
F.

You. Me.  If you assume, then ME thinks U is an ASS :hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
