I would have had no idea what you are talking about until a young co-worker dragged my a$$ across London to take this picture for her boyfriend
Good Guess - Wrong City

BTW - not sure where she is now and hopefully will not be upset that I posted her pic... but she was real excited 9 years ago

So we know now that sleepychef knows where it is
We are not in London
You can hear bells from the doors....
and
????????????

Nope the picture in play is not in London.

However...
From inside the doors one could hear the bells
And when one awoke in the morning this was their view

This morning's hint:
Whether it was typhus or typhoid fever the resident who lived behind these doors did not die alone.

Hint: Check the bookcase for the answer to this picture

No it is not Typhoid Mary Birthplace

So we now know...
- That the doors are not England
- You can hear bells
- A very strange view from the window
- The resident died of Typhoid or Typhus
- They did not die alone
- And the bookcase is the key...

Where could these doors be????

Oh yeah - One resident did survive

I have attached another hint - look carefully, but do not think it will help immediately.

I am opening the use of Google at 1000 EST or 1400 UTC (approx 30 minutes from this post)

Well, obviously, the clue is the address, but doubt it will help me anyway.

Carol.... You Are Correct!
Tell me you have read the book or seen the movie...
Probably years ago.

A must see when visiting Amsterdam!
After the germ goes away and travel is once again permissible, I highly recommend Amsterdam.
Great Museums, Great Food, Some of the nicest people in the world.
I particularly like going in the middle of winter when the tourists are at a minimum.

Make reservations and do not skip the Anne Frank Huis!

Carol you are up!

We actually have been there, Tom. It was in the 80s, and just for one day, in Amsterdam itself. We went to the Anne Frank House, but we went to Holland mostly for the tulips. We also went to southern Germany and a couple of other places. Unfortunately, all my pictures from there are slides, which I guess someday I should pay to get put on disc. I have no idea how much that stuff costs.

Carol,

Best Buy (Amazon) sell a reasonable slide copier that you stick the slide in a slot and it saves it to a JPEG that can be transferred.
Idiots delight for sure, but that is how I have captured most of my old pics into digital format.

They are not the quality to blow up into large pictures, but fine for digital posting and kindling great memories
The key is that the slides have been saved in a dry cool space...
Basements are not necessarily good for the longevity of slides

Tom--huh, I will have to try to look for that. Ours have been stored in air conditioning, so should be fine, although I confess I haven't looked at them in many years.

Tom--I went ahead and ordered a cheap machine to transfer the slides ($50), so will do a few of them and see how good a job it does. I always thought you had to pay someone to do that stuff. Shows you what I know!

Some hook directly to a computer and some save to a SD card or some type of media.
It is a pain in the butt, but addictive once you start
Pay attention to your naming conventions.
The one I have automatically resets when you turn it off.
It will start with IMG-001 and when you turn it off and then start again later it will reset with the slide name as IMG-001 when you turn it back on.

Had not thought of Scotland

I was guessing Eastern Europe, but I think you may be on the right trail
