The Postcard Poser is back! – May 2012
Can you guess the location of this Postcard poser? The picture below dates from around 1902 and the building remains to this day but has latterly changed its use.
For those who are new to this feature on our blog, we share a postcard-style photo taken somewhere in the UK. It could be a particular property, a famous landmark, or just a view of the town centre. All you have to do is tell us where the photo was taken in the comments section below.

No clue.
Looks a bit Midlands/Northern.
Looks like a radio transmitter in the centre, but extremely unlikely in 1902 – more likely a flagpole.
Tramlines in the street, with power lines above. Could be any one of a thousand different cities or towns.
