Where Was I Last Sunday?

After a lovely few days visiting friends, we stopped by for an all too brief visit to a very British place...

Charming, but a litle dated, don't you think?
There's a clue here, beside the baggage...
You Brits may know 'why' the clock is famous,
but do you know where I was and what I encountered there?

    If memory serves me right, I think it is Carnforth, where 'Brief Encounter' was filmed.

    I have lived far too long out of the UK, I have not got a clue but it looks interesting. Diane

      It was very interesting ... and so iconic!

    Carnforth has my vote as well.

    I haven't a clue, Broad, says she, all agog. :-)

      When I came with this idea for a post I thought you would be one of those who would know -- being from Lancashire and all...

    If it is Carnforth I'll mention it to my son. I didn't know about the history.

    He's been doing some teaching at Carnforth for one morning a week and travels by train.

      I don't know if it's been on the Antiques Road Trip, but it would make sense. I was sure you would be one of those who knew immediately where this very British and very iconic place would be...

    I've never been to the UK, so I am waiting to hear...

    Dear Broad, I have no idea and so I'm eager to find out.

    Just wanted you to know that after you mentioned "The Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey
    I read it this week. What a read!!! Now I'm going to check out her books from the library, one by read. But I suspect none will be as intriguing as the mystery of Richard the Third. Peace.

      So glad you enjoyed this unique book -- you can see why it gave me such an interest in Richard III.

      I've probably been unfair to my fellow Americans here -- it's a very British thing!

      Look for a film -- circa 1945-46... British, of course...

    I'm thinking Carnforth - location of the film, "Brief Encounter". Celia Johnson and her strange twisted vowels. Did you have a cup of tea in the Refreshment Room?

      In answer to your question -- no, unfortunately!
