I think that this could be the Chinnor Cement Works with the Chilterns beyond. |

Could also be Pitstone Cement Works. I could also be wrong! |

I think this is the 'Old Works' on the Bicester Rd leaving Aylesbury; now under Tesco's carpark. |

I agree with nkingdon's location of Quainton Hill. The local field boundaries fit and the covered reservoir is there. |

The triangulation point for Quainton Hill is actually on the covered reservoir, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3573415 |
