At 51°N, even during winter solstice, I doubt the sun peeps above the horizon, to the south ??

It would, as it is below the arctic circle.

How did you figure out that Ellesborough location?

I think you are right about the location, BTW. You can see a river doing a bend in the screenshots, and if you check on Google maps you can see that the River Thames does that same bend!

It's funny becuase I would have guessed that the screenshots would have been taken from a location much further to the south - but maybe I am forgetting that England really is quite a small place - there is some statistic like no place in England is more than 100 km from the sea....... (or something like that).
