Should have said - the car heading towards us is an Austin A35 - so nearly certainly England - 1955

Oh Man! I am literally laughing out loud, Indi!

Please tell your hubby that I am forever grateful for anyone that can help me. I've done the magnifying glass thingy... but, I'm past that 40 year old stage... meaning: my eyes go goofy. :)

I honestly do not have any bells ringing unless they come from Shropshire or Cumberland. AND, even then, you must spell everything out for me... darn newbies! :)

Yes indeed, Keith! That would be about the time range... I was thinking about 1953?

I agree with the B1243

According to the 1:25,000 map South Skirlaugh has a church with a tower - not steeple.  

Looking along the B1243 Rise has a steepled church but doesn't seem to have enough houses.

Sigglesthorne = tower
Catwick = tower
Long Riston = tower

(there aren't many steeples in teh area!)

Looking at Skirlaugh - there is a chapel today on a junction which has the B1243 in the right direction from it.  Long long shot but maybe the church has lost it's steeple?  And is now a chapel? [Red Arrow]

Or the road number maybe wrong  ::)

Roads in Shropshire begin with 4 or 5

Roads in Cumberland with 5 or 6

So unless we are reading the sign wrongly - don't think the place is in either county!

Do the shadows help us at all determine whether we are looking North?

I think that the photo is a bit later.  The car on the left is an Austin 1100 and I believe that they were made in the early sixties.  The second car approaching could be a Ford Cortina and that puts it at about the same time.

Hi,

The car plate looks like a group of 3 letters and then 3 numbers.

This would indicate it was registered prior to 1963 when the letter at the end indicated year of registration.

Of course this doesn't help much, as it could just be an old car.
