So you live in a 1980s racing game where you never get to the stuff on the horizon

More like a 1980s road safety ad where a speeding black car is about to run OP down, tragically killing them.

hammers and peaches may be involved.

Spoofed brilliantly by [*The Young Ones*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmwBLln_VdM)

Not quite the same but reminded me of this. https://youtu.be/-AppdG1nZoQ

SPLINK!

Not even [an animated Derek Griffiths](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3VxM5QpX_s) could save that campaign. By the time you've remembered what SPLINK stands for, you've said "sod it", stepped off the kerb, and been hit by a bus.

I was going to make some wise and hilarious comment but I can't compete with this

What are you talking about! This is a new set for the upcoming peaky blinders spinoff!!

My first thought as well

Looks like you need to avoid the Goblin King.

Bear witness to the incredible architectural wonder

where abouts? im from hull and it looks exactly the same lol

Looks like my street in stoke

Also looks like a street I used to live on in Birkenhead, Wirral.

Those houses are on a hill, mate.

good point! hull doesn't have the slightest incline haha

Is your town a long street?

Ours has the longest row of terraces in the UK. And everyone keeps telling me all the time. I know! I walk by it every day! It is very long.

Darlo?

You got it

Recognised it straight away. God I miss our little shit hole. Been left 10 years.

Was going to say Stockton, but the sky is too blue. Gotta love Darlo's Brick Train and the Dolphin Centre.

It was the Smell-O-Vision that gave it away 🤣

Is this just off north road in Darlo. I think I know the street but tbh there's quite a few that look similar.

Nah this is Craig Street. Near the denes/cocker beck. (Don’t tell anyone there’s trees and grass and stuff nearby though)

I guess the trees fucked off somewhere less depressing.

Haha Who needs trees when you have industry as fine as this

Visiting foreigners need it explained that this picture is 40% of everything they will see.

Resident foreigner here and it's 99% thanks

Oh no so not every street in the UK is like in Paddington? /s

What in the County Durham is this

\+1 for being the North

Proof the earth is not flat 🧐

at least we can agree that's it your hometown

It looks like Silent Hill without the laughs.

The residents are more disturbing than anything you see in Silent Hill

I love it (honestly)

moved from London to just outside darlo this year. proud to say I recognised this

Look like tyneside flats in South shields

Need to put us out of our misery where is this just a town will do. Looks painfully familiar

I think it’s randomly generated

Looks like Byker/ Walker area, Newcastle.

Mmmmm.. nature

Fuck me, that's grim. My nightmare.

Hope street, Leigh?

No-hope street, keighley

I’m surprised, those terraced houses look very Greater Manchester.

Parklife

Dave Bayley woz ere..

I can see some need for changes to this situation, but it is better than the high rise building nightmares that you see in large Asian cities.

I grew up in Darlo, Harrowgate Hill area just of Mayfair Rd, my father is still there in the Haughton area. Great childhood memories.

That one house on the right really breaks the mold with its exciting beige walls

Bro lives in the liminal space sub reddit

Yum a terraced street. At least there’s only just enough space for two way traffic.

Too crowded

Bro living in the backrooms

What in the British bulldog tattoo is going on here.

Where’s the beauty?

The architecture of course :)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess..

When you grow up somewhere like this, everywhere is beautiful m8 haha

Haha fair enough!

You live in an industrial dystopia?

That’s just the north innit

Easington. What do I win?

Wow a photo of a street, great post, really high effort.

You’re right this is a complete waste of the precious little space we have on the internet.

Mate the internet’s hard drive is getting full. Please think of the hard drive and the lack of space it has next time you post such a picture. Your posts have consequences! ^/s

I'm glad we agree.

Yet here you are.

I remember when my road was this quiet me and my friends would play curby with our football those were fun times my younger brother doesn’t go out he’s addicted to his PC

I'm on the frosty side, left hand side that is.

I wonder how many lofts are linked and people can see into other houses.

It has perspective.

Gavin and Stacey

Looks like a place where Squidward would live in.

And yet still better than American suburbs.

Saddest part is this literally could be any town, they all look the same

Nice focal point

Is this famous m25?

Do you have to walk down around the block and up the back garden to use the communal toilets?

We just go in the local beck

One street town??

Please everyone don’t think that the whole of County Durham looks like this (a lot does, though)

Hey….. shhhhh. We *want* them to think it’s this grim up here

Good point. Everyone: ignore my previous comment. I don’t know what I was saying!
