Hi Mark,

If you can just look it up, you don't need to do anything else.

I thought we were discussing situations where it's not clear? In that 
case you have a look around. If most of the side roads and residential 
streets have properly spaced street lamps, you are almost certainly in a 
town, or a suburb or district of a town, even if the locals like to call 
it a village.

If there is no street lighting, or only the one main road has some 
lighting, or the only lamp is the one opposite the village hall, you are 
in a village. Even if the locals call it a town. Here is Lower Town Farm 
on the right and Lower Town Cottage on the left:
