OK; time for a little nudge. South Tottenham is in the north-east of London. South Wembley is the north-west. South Wimbledon and Southfields are in the south-west. South Tottenham is still yet to be toppled for the closest geographically, so try concentrating on areas that are closer to there than the others proposed. But, as I said before, the arrow does represent south.

Southbury?

Aye! The stadium in the picture is Gigg Lane, home of Bury FC.

Interesting fact: Bury hold the record for the biggest win in an FA Cup Final, having defeated Derby County by a score of 6-0 in 1903. Not only was this achieved without conceding at all during the cup run that year, it also gives them a 10-0 aggregate in FA Cup Finals (having beaten Southampton 4-0 three years earlier).

So let's see then; you have Rouge the Bat, a boat on either a river or a canal, a plane engine, and a formerly glaciated valley. A good mix! :D

Looks like quite a toughie to me :(

Ooh. Could it be Rugeley Trent Valley, which seems to be your favourite station? :D

Well, let's see:

Rouge The Bat
River Lea
A Trent engine
and a valley

Nope, you're wrong ;)

Of course, it is one of my locals! Rugeley Trent Valley is the right answer

Ha ha. I'm not sure I would have gotten that if someone else had posted it...!

Anyhow, here's another. If someone puts in an answer that several others deem to be correct, whoever states said answer can go. (And if they're wrong I'll scold you all.) I'm only going to stay on for about five more minutes before going to bed.

That looks more like a river valley especially given that it's a V shape rather than a U shape (I'll get my coat)

Is it Walmer?

Wal - wall
mer - French word for sea

True, but the valley is probably too deep to have not been affected by glaciation at least a little. It isn't a truncated valley though, so it's not as though it would have been under deep stress from ice.

Just a bit easier than Southbury then...

I'm going to bed ;)

Looking at it, I wonder if the photo is from a hanging fluvial valley, joining up to a glacial one. The angle of the photo makes it a bit awkward though. *environmental science/geography student* ;)

Wall + Sand = Wallsend? :)
The fact that looks like a stretch of Hadrian's Wall tends to be a big hint... <D

Open floor if I'm correct. 8-)

Sorry Death, Mojo called it right. It was Walmer.

I was tempted to use the following for Walmer instead of what I actually provided, but I didn't know how many people would recognise the blue thing...!

[The blue thing is a Wailmer, a Pokémon; the other part of this poser is an "I" with a cross through it: WAiLMER]

I keep wanting to say Nottingham as its pretty close to Trent Bridge cricket ground ( and they are a cricket bat and ball) but that could probably go for any cricket ground in the country. I'm probably thinking to much outside the box but other than that i'm stumped (pun intended)

Would that not be Turkey Street in North London?

EDIT: Oh, for the love of ****...! I should have just written "Turkey Street" like 12CSVT did.

I presume Turkey Street is the correct answer

Now try this one
