Bit random, I know! It's a Getty image used to illustrate a BBC news story.

It looks familiar. Is it Winchester?.

Used to live in Guildford, such a lovely high street ☺️

I thought Guildford immediately- having lived there but seem to remember Body Shop was further up High st other side from Sainsburys, probably moved since I was there though.

Miljea · 30/07/2020 21:43

It does look nice! It's such a pity you have to be rich to live anywhere near such lovely places! Like Winchester....

It looks like a town in Wales I visited but, unfortunately, do not knowthe name of.

CharlottaCarlotta · 30/07/2020 22:07

While we are on this subject, does anyone know where this sea Lido is? It’s the background on Trip Advisor but it doesn’t say where it is? It looks lovely.

Oh! I always imagined Guildford to be some kind of concrete conurbation like Slough or Milton Keynes!

I want to visit if it looks like that!

KedsAndTubeSocks · 30/07/2020 22:15

@CoffeeRunner, no, that's Woking you're thinking of!

babbi · 30/07/2020 22:23

Aw @KedsAndTubeSocks ... I’ve just been told I’m spending a week in Woking for work and somehow thought it was going to be lovely !

mnahmnah · 30/07/2020 22:28

@CharlottaCarlotta

Pretty sure that’s Bondi Beach!

InterviewTerminated · 30/07/2020 22:30

@CharlottaCarlotta that is Bondi Beach

KedsAndTubeSocks · 31/07/2020 06:11

Sorry @babbi, it's a concrete building site!

Oblomov20 · 31/07/2020 06:13

I knew it was Guildford as soon as I saw it. I was there before lockdown.

WanderingMilly · 31/07/2020 07:05

Yes, that's Guildford, used to live there. Used to walk down the cobbled High Street every morning and look at the hills beyond the town and think of the hymn "There is a green hill far away, beyond the city wall"....

It's changed a lot since my day though....
