Well done Yorkie, did you recognise it, or get it from the clue, the jumbled photographers name . $good$  $good$

Sorry, Mate - Yorkie's secret!  Took me about 30 seconds, and nothing to do with photographer's name! 
I can't give any clue as to how I do it, as with some questions it does not work, which could lead to frustration amongst the Members.    :D
I take it you are referring to reading the EXIF data of the photo to determine if any GPS data is stored that could identify the location?  :twoface:

Actually, NO!    I use a much easier and very simple system.  I found, in the past, that messing about with EXIF Data, was a bit hit and miss and haven't used it for years.  My method does not always come up with the answer, but when it does it is very quick and absolutely spot on.
On some occasions it gets close enough that a little bit of extra work finds the solution.

Nice tries but you're both incorrect.

Here's another one but a bit harder.   

What is this place called?
What business once operated from here?
Where is it in N Wales ?       $walesflag$

It's only easy if you know it!

I'm beaten on this one.  As H says, it is only easy if you KNOW it!
The nearest I can get is Flintshire and a Pub or School.  Although it may have been a Brothel!   :D

Sorry Steve but you're nowhere near but Yorkie's on the boil again!

So come on Yorkie there are 3 answers to get.   It isn't in Flintshire now but what business was it and on what pleasant hill would you find it?       $walesflag$   $welsh$
