You forgot the second scan 001uk.  :)

The closeup of the sign - I can now see that some people think it looks like a post, but I think this is the doorway with shading.

Some orders  of  nuns  work in the community as teachers or as nurses.   Their "dress code"    is different  from those who  may live in something of a "closed"  religious community.

I didn't forget!! I can't upload it!

 If anyone knows why I receive the message

" An Error Has Occurred!Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again."

when I try to upload an image which does NOT already have an attachment of the same file name I'd love to know!! I then rename the file and the page freezes.

I see no nuns. Just two women walking arm in arm - the one on the right might be carrying a shopping basket in her free hand, but that might be just an illusion or a photographic artefact.

I'm pretty sure the lady on the left IS a nun. As soon as I can get the image loaded you may agree!

Like Mike I see two ladies out for a stroll arm in arm. One is wearing dark clothes. Nothing more than that.

No offence, but I think people are reading too much into a simple street scene. You could interpret this in many different ways.

For instance, the woman on the right is walking her blind sister down the street. The blind sister on the left has long dark hair. The sighted sister on the right is mid-stride - she doesn't have an orthopaedic shoe.

And if those are public toilets, why is the man on the left urinating in a gateway?

I'm not saying these interpretations are correct, of course, just that there are many ways of interpreting a scene.

Resolution is not good but I've tried to bring up the sign. I think it might start with an F or T. Also it looks like a 4 letter word.

There's a sign behind the two ladies but the res is even poorer.

They look like they are walking.
Agree with Mike that the woman on the right appears to be carrying something.
I don't think she appears to need help to walk - I think the two are just arm in arm.
The girl on the left appears to have long hair which is parted on her left side and the hair is falling down her back. This may mean that she was younger and not of the age to wear her hair "up".

I agree with Mike again when he says that this can be interpreted in any number of ways, and none of it helps determine the location. It was always going to be a tricky one.

I don't suppose you have any more photos you would like us to have a shot at identifying 001uk?
