Try looking on the back. People often write on the back of photographs were it is, who is in it, etc etc...
Should I get my coat?

I think you should because your sense of humour is rapidly descending to depths lower than I can achieve and I hate to be outdone

That's because it is Sheffield.
This is the view from the balcony on the third floor of a new home. It's a new build to rent project. Here are some more photographs from the same balcony. The balcony is quite large. About 3 x 3m. A small oasis.

Northside?
Didn't often get too far from the Uni as a student there
- except to watch the footy
- and to be interviewed/DNA swabbed in Hillsborough police station for a body they'd found behind the pub I'd been working in Glasgow

It's as good as directly East from the railway station.
You can see the football stadium in the first photograph if you look slightly to the right of centre

And on a similar note, can anyone name any other churches or cathedrals with a pair of bell towers like this?
It's a genuine question rather than a quiz, as I have a strong memory of photographing one on a long boat trip a few years ago. BUT, I can't find any photos on my phone and a careful look on the map of everywhere I've been boating reveals nothing.
I'm beginning to wonder if I dreamed it and there is no such other twin towered church.
(I know it wasn't this one in the photo as I've reverse searched and found that church such is my curiosity about twin tower churches, and I've never been there.

Notre Dame (de Paris) and numerous copies thereof? And Rouen Cathederal...

Sorry I should have made it clear. The boat trip was on the boat I used to live on, it waa a long summer boating holiday. So this (possibly imaginary) twin towered church must have been near a south or midlands inland waterway or river. I've never been anywhere north of Stoke-on-Trent in my boat.

Re: Where is this?
The church in the picture is Beverley Minster. It bears a slight resemblance to Durham Cathedral, except the twin towers of Durham Cathedral are not so high (in proportion to the rest of the building), but I don't know if Durham has twin bell towers as such.
Good to know I was correct about Sheffield, having been born there, and had a view very similar to the one in the photo from my bedroom window on City Road (A6135). I thought I recognised the "ziggurat" building, which used to be Midland Bank's head office.

Yes, it is Beverley Minster. Am I correct in thinking that at some time in the past, when the Minster was built, Beverley would have been a fairly powerful or influential place?

York Minster has the exact same towers, and in general looks very similar to Beverley Minster. And Beverley is the county town of the East Riding, so has always been an important place (until the industrial towns became more prominent). Even when Humberside existed, the council was based in Beverley not Hull as you might expect.
