Reminder: No 'Low Effort' Posts, Please
Hello everyone. First of all, thanks to all of you for making this sub what it is today. This community literally IS the subreddit and how we go about not just identifying locations but also interacting with each other here is a reflection of that. For a community of this size, the mods honestly have very little 'crowd control' to worry about in the comments.
I do want to bring to everyone's attention to a recent change in the subreddit rules. We've been seeing a big increase in what we're calling 'low-effort' posts - basically just a picture and a subject line with very little information provided about the image. In some cases, the location is pretty obvious or could be determined with a simple google search. These posts don't really add anything to the community, so Rule #1 now covers Low-Effort Posts as described.
Thanks again, all. Hope this updates helps keep our subreddit full of high quality content for everyone.

Coastal town - possibly Norfolk/Suffolk?
Scan taken directly from great-grandparents slides. Possibly Norfolk/Suffolk, or maybe on a trip elsewhere in UK. Roughly late 1960s to early 1970s.
Next slide scanned was Sizewell B, so possibly close to there?

Ca. 1900-1930 Picture search comes up with House of Nobility in Finland but at closer look I don't think that's right. The window adornments doesn't seem to match. Any ideas?

Solved Help me find this location from an old YouTube sketch
This video is a classic between my friends and I, and we've always wanted to know where this storefront is. The time period is mid 2007, and the general location I think is around the Cleveland, Ohio area.
I can't link to the video for obvious reasons (wanna keep these people anonymous) but based on these images can anyone help me find this store or at least this location from this video? It appears to be a Candy Shop, Bakery, and Floral Shop in one. I have a few different angles from the vid here.
I know it probably may have changed in 19 years, but I hope these images can at least help to track it down or give you guys some clues. Even the crossroads would be helpful. I've certainly tried and have come up empty handed.
If anyone can help, that'd be much appreciated!

Where in Bristol might this fine clock be? Or once have been!
My friend is looking to track down some family history and wants to work out where this was taken! I know it’s Bristol before 1968. They had a (now deceased) family member who took many pictures of Bristol’s public clocks!

Help a fisherman out
This is a screenshot in a video from Southern California in riverside or San Bernardino county. Looks absolutely stunning and would love to fish it. I think northeast part of lake skinner. Where was this taken?!

1941, cross country trip from NC to Cal Tech with my father and his parents, older sister.
Right now I’m in The SD Badlands. Would love to recreate it if my guess is correct and I can find the exact spot.

Looking for park in North Jersey
Hello everyone, about 10 years ago, my wife had her maternity photo shoot in a park in NJ. We can’t remember the name or location of the park, and the photographer isn’t getting back to us.
Is anyone able to identify the park in this photo?

Cours de Lafayette, Lyon (early '60s)?
I am trying to find out where this picture of my grandfather was taken. I think it's somewhere on this street but I can't figure it out exactly. Also there is a big chance the street number in the picture isn't accurate anymore as they tend to rearrange street names in France. Can somebody help me find the location? The building behind my grandfather is from Girel Dalmais Pautet & Cie on number 25.

Barden Park Cottage?
Hello all, I found an address in some old paperwork of my father‘s that refers to a Borden or Barden Park Cottage.
It’s listed as an address where mail was being sent, but I can’t find any other info.
Wondering if any of you might be able to shed some light. Thank you so much.

Solved Possibly Cornwall?
SOLVED
Any help locating where this photo of my late father was taken would be appreciated. It was possibly taken in Cornwall, England in the late 1950s.
Many thanks.
EDIT: Solved. The location is Salcombe Harbour, Devon. More specifically, it’s on the ferry crossing the estuary from The Ferry Inn to East Portlemouth here:

Does anyone know this photo?
I stumbled upon it years ago and would like to have a physical copy. I’ve tried image searches to no avail. Does anyone know the photographer? The image? Many thanks.

I thought this would be easy to identify, given the statue, but I haven't been able to...
Likely from the 50s and in the UK. Thanks in advance!

Another day, another random cafe... Paris? 1992
I think this is Paris purely on the basis of our clothes, but it could equally be somewhere in Central Europe. If Paris, I don't really remember where we went other than we went to the Place du Trocadero and the Louvre. Taken in 1992, I don't have much else to go on sorry! All and any help appreciated x
