What about Keadby, with sunny Scunny in the background. Plenty of yellowbellies on this site should be able to confirm or deny.

Hull looks a possibility.
That bridge could be the one in service now carrying the main over the old Tilcon line into the stone plant alongside the A62 Clive Sullivan Way.
Leeds, Selby and Doncaster to the left and Hull Hessle rd to the right.
Fish docks to the bottom.

The location is Hull, it is taken off the top of Dairycoates "Coal Cracker", and I believe originated as a LNER wartime publicity shot. The bridge in the background is a fixed span and carried the H&B over the NE main line. If anyone wants further information of the area please ask. Mick.
