Round 2 had The Chaucer Bookshop, so that would have to be Canterbury given Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales between 1387-1400. Round 3 has the H & W yellow structure which is part of the Harland and Wolff shipyard (that built the RMS Titanic), so can only be Belfast. Round 5 had the bee graffiti, which is associated with Manchester. Also, the phone number for Manchester is 0161, seen on the side of the taxi.
I saw that - but in my case i had walked that way to go to University / work a lot (granted a slight detour from Canterbury East :D) - so i was very much "is this canterbury" - and with the narrow roads i knew roughly where it was pretty much straight away :D
Round 1: Looks vaguely familiar but I can't place it. Find a sign that says St. Paul's Cathefral, then I spend a minute or so getting the exact location only for the marker to be wrong. Round 2: This does look familiar, could it be Canterbury? I move and find a sign pointing to Canterbury East station so that's a yes! 1 yard away I'm very pleased with. Round 3: We're in Northern Ireland, but where. A sign to City Airport and Docks means it must be Belfast. We're near multiple railway bridges on the East Side (according to the car park) which turns out to be easy to find. Round 4: This doesn't look familiar at all. The sign says Chelsmford which makes sense (my only experience is changing from train to bus in the pouring rain on a very cold day). We're near the junction of Duke Street and Coval Lane, northwest of the centre. Not too difficult to find, got 0 yards away somehow. Round 5: Is that bee representing Manchester? Signs to Victoria Station and Bury say it is. It took me the best part of 10 minutes to find Mason Street though - could have done much better on that front, but 6 yards isn't bad, especially considerign the marker is misleading.
My kids have only just finished school in England 😱 They will go back early September. In Scotland it’s better (imo) as the holidays are a bit earlier and match up better with the longer days (and nicer weather if we’re lucky)😊
Thanks for watching!

Me again! Getting closer to home with some of these! Band on the Wall and the Rose and Monkey are 2 of my fave bars/pubs in Manchester!

CIS is or was the Cooperative Insurance Society.
I feel like this was on the front of several football jerseys back in the early 2000s
