Even if I will have to dig deeply into my Pre-Digital Archives to find interesting England-pics, which are not in the southwest, I will say, that this is Clougha Pike .

No idea. It looks flat and it seems to be a river, so is it Norfolk?

No, it's part of my childhood dreams, because it is a certain part of the britsh partner town, of my original home town.

The part you see here might be partially artificial.
The town itself is very british, having a lot of roundabouts, brick buildings, double houses, greens and villages around which might make an appearance in "Midsomer Murders" even if they are not exactly in Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire:) ( or Norfolk...)
A rugby and a cricket Pitch are not too far off .

No that is about a 2 hours (car)drive off-target. But not bad.

Back then, we were giving concerts with our schools wind orchestra at Milton Keynes, so I agree on the roundabouts.
And you are lot closer:)
The place of my dreams back then is the oldest of its kind:)(as far as I know....)
