Where's That Then? No 11

The 1900s saw a plethora of partwork magazines that could be collected and then sent away to get bound into one, or many, volumes. Nothing changes then, as we saw once again in the New Year when you could build your own aircraft carrier in weekly instalments. This picture's from a collection called 'Beautiful Britain', (beautifully done as it happens, in half leather) and this fairly fanciful watercolour was by L. Burleigh Bruhl. Any clues, you ask. Well, it's one of the most visited spots in England, but only really since 1839. I've only been here once, and fled. Which isn't really giving it a chance. I expect to hear amazing stories of more profound visits.
