Nope - Nantwich.
Ah, OK. I know the CH in Wolves has had a major refurb recently and a lot of big bands are lined up to play there, so was a bit surprised to just see tribute acts on the poster.
It's excellent post-refurb 👍 Fair few decent acts doing the rounds too 😎

Anzac monument at Albury WA.
It was from here that ships gathered before heading in convoy to Egypt/Europe.

There are two on one of my regular rides, Saxtead and Framsden, if you want water mills, the village I grew up in has three, there used to be four.

I ride past one (Buerton - mentioned in the WIkipedia page, I checked) often - definitely the only one I know of for a good number of miles.

A slight mistake on my part.
It’s Albany. Albury is a village in Surrey.

If a turbine will do,then since it's that time of year,a pic of your bike in an Autumnal scene.
