Wrong St Leonards I'm afraid - the map is of St Leonards in Australia, this website is abut the one in the UK!

It must be UK, not far from Hastings. Looks like a industrial or military object in desert.

Peter you might want to copy the whole URL :P ;)

Hi Indira, from your URL you pasted, I was taken to Dugeness Power Station, in Kent 8| Which can be seen from Hastings Country Park on the horizon.

Thanks - and apologies I see it now, but what is really wierd is that only the part up to St Leonards is highlighted on my computer, and that does definitely take you to St Leonards in New South Wales_ _ _

Haha no worries. You're not on your own the same part was highlighted for me too, but I thought something wasn't right when it showed Australia.

Thank you for answers!
So it's a nuclear power station - Dungeness Power Station.

Looks impressive!
