Its Competition Time!
The Subject is Wellington, Somerset
Wellington is a lovely small town about 7 miles to the west of Taunton, Somerset. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and is close to the Devon border which runs along the top of the Blackdown Hills which makes a good backdrop to the town.
This fun competition is simply to see how well those who know the town can identify these images below. The answers are within the full-blown photographs shown on "Aspects of Wellington".

Thanks for looking at these images and Sheila and I hope you have had fun guessing where they might be.
It's likely that only the postmen or the bin collectors will recognise these views as some are a bit obscure, but it got us thinking about seeking out interesting buildings which create a town of some charm.
The main images will be uploaded soon where you will have the answers to these questions.
