Agreed! Not all the points are going to help with pin pointing the location. However, I still think the "Nun" element might just have something to do with it. We'll see.

YES! I have many more photos but not quite the time to list! I'll try ASAP.

Yes.  I think at least   THREE   of  us  agree with the nursing sister  suggestion.    I will study my map   now  and perhaps go to the Library.

But, it's not a habit - she has long dark hair when enlarged.

Added - at least three of us agree with that!

I agree with the sign being 4 letters (I thought before it looked like ICES) the second letter looks like a C.

What kind of useful information would be on signs can we think apart from place names and lavatorials? 

Nuns has four letters! but I don't see any nuns myself.

Good luck with that. How will the map help?

I see that a few people have suggested Cumbria/Lakeland. My first reaction on seeing the picture was that it reminded me of somewhere in the Lake District.  We don't know what might be on the other side of the street but the fact so many buildings have seats outside suggests that there is probably a good vista - a lake perhaps, or a panoramic view.
