Well after much deliberation, I'm plumping for York. I think they may have been parked on the Lord mayors walk near Monk gate. The wall line, tree and mound dipping seem to fit. There is no Church now, however there is a small public garden and a bit of googling advised me there was a church, "St Maurice Monk gate" on this spot till 1966. Need to find a photo to see if the church tower is right. Any way that's my theory please feel free to destroy  ;D

Thank you fremund. I think you are spot on. I managed to find an old postcard of St Maurice's and the tower and decorations match. Good job you!

Glad to be able to lay this one to rest.

Thanks again
