Didnt spot:
Glebelands
Jack Wooley Pavilion
Bishop's Palace
The Bypass
One completely off the wall location, which wasn't even mentioned on TA, was Euston Station, where the ceremony described below took place, and I quote:
'This locomotive was named on 25th May 1989 by Philip Archer to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Royal Show and the 10,000th episode of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio's The Archers'.
This was on a plaque attached to the locomotive (named 'Royal Show' rather than 'The Archers') from May 1989 to March 1994. Phil was obviously to modest to mention this on air!
Various cricket pitches around Borsetshire, especially Darrington.

Jack Woolley's steam railway.
There was also the site of Ambridge Manor which was discovered in the 1960s I think. John Tregorran was very much involved at the time.

Demeters grave.Â
Oy Posh are you admitting that you did away with Demeter and if so where exactly is his grave. I think you should put Linda out of her misery.
