    I don't think there is a Cheap Street in Market Harborough.
    Frome looks too build up.
    Using Google street view, none of the views into Cheap Str, Sherborne look right - there simply isn't a steep enough slope.

    The mystery continues...

    Hi,

    Old_postcards has it right: we are in Chedworth.
    However the link doesn't lead to the correct position.

    See below:
    - First photo: the house on the left side of the road.
    - Second photo: the house down the road (only partially visible on the first photo).
    - Map: A marks the position suggested by Old_Postcards; B marks the correct position.

    Best regards,

    Quasar
