An Odd palce for a cup of tea

A pun (paronomasia) without any shame: Tea in Obscura Places.
Don’t know why, but a number of random synapses firings generated memories of old haunts.
As is, obligatory in the UK tea shops are attached to “Places of Interest."
Camera Obscura, the first CCTV. The Camera Obscura, installed in 1836, is on the top floor of the old windmill tower. From it you can see panoramic views of Dumfries (Scottish borders) and the surrounding countryside. Billed as World's Oldest.

The Aberystwyth Electric Cliff Railway:...
Constitution Hill, known locally as 'Consti' at the north end of Aberystwyth promenade.
Installed on the summit in 1896, is the world’s largest Camera Obscura.
The Summerhouse: Probably the oldest in Aberystwyth. a perfect spot to enjoy afternoon tea.

Cafe Obscura: ....Bournemouth, on England’s south coast. Only a few miles from Havant, where I once had an office.
