leiden

Nice. This is in Leiden, The Netherlands, about 20 miles from Schiphol airport. Holiday snapshot from the fifties. The building on the left was a hospital and is now a museum. No petrolstation there anymore.

Good catch....Photo taken in Leiden 1968..LG

The bridge is called the Korenbrug and still stands today (recently restored). The tower is that if Leiden City Hall.

Looking on to the Korenbrug at night.

'koren' in dutch is 'wheat' in english 'corn' would have been 'mais' in dutch. this is a common mistake but please relabel your text

The confusion goes back to the so-called Corn Laws in England in 1832, which actually regulated what Americans called "wheat." At that time, American corn (as in corn on cobs), or maize, was virtually unknown in England.

Incidentally, "cob," as in cobweb, was another name for a spider -- but that's a whole different can of worms . . . .

According to the OED, corn has meant seed or grain in English as far back as the 9th century, but it tends to refer to different grains in different regions.

"As a general term the word includes all the cereals, wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize, rice, etc., and, with qualification (as black corn, pulse corn), is extended to leguminous plants, as pease, beans, etc., cultivated for food. Locally, the word, when not otherwise qualified, is often understood to denote that kind of cereal which is the leading crop of the district; hence in the greater part of England ‘corn’ is = wheat, in North Britain and Ireland = oats; in the U.S. the word, as short for Indian corn, is restricted to maize."

Locatie waarschijnlijk het Schuttersveld (op de achtergrond molen De Valk)

Location, indeed, most likely, the 'Schuttersveld', with in the background the 'Marislaan'.
Affirmative that the windmill in question is the, still existing and now museum, 'Molen De Valk'.

The churchtower left from the middle is of the 'Marekerk'.

The building at the left hand side should be, the 'Leidsche Coöperatieve Melkinrichting 'De Landbouw' ' (Milk factory), established 1879, at the 'Rijnsburgersingel' number 23.

Have a look at the following picture, from 1904, from the Leiden Regional Archives and compare yourself:
