N or M?

Here you can find out about four of the locations used to create 'N or M?' the second three-part adventure of Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime.

Fort Amherst, Kent

Fort Amherst is located in Chatham, Kent and was originally constructed in preparation for a Napoleonic invasion before being used as a Civil Defence centre in World War II. The site is therefore well known for its extensive military history, however in 1980, the Fort was purchased from the MOD by the Fort Amherst and Lines Trust who began the restoration project which is still ongoing today.

The Trust owns and manages the 20 acres of fortifications which remain open for the public to enjoy free of charge daily, and offers regular tours of the extensive tunnels as well as special events throughout the year.

Cromer, Norfolk

Cromer is a coastal town in North Norfolk. By the 1880s, with the advent of railways, the town became a fashionable attraction for the Victorians and the Edwardians, who built a string of grand hotels on the seafront and a magnificent pier.

The town is also known for the Cromer Crab - a fresh brown crab - which grows slowly on the chalk reef just off the Norfolk coast.

Muckleburgh, Norfolk

The Muckleburgh Military Collection was established 30 years ago at the Royal Artillery Anti-Aircraft and Radar Camp at Weybourne on the North Norfolk coast. In WW1 the camp was equipped with heavy guns to defend against a possible German sea invasion. In WW2 it was enlarged with anti-aircraft guns, pill boxes and defenses as Norfolk was vulnerable to Nazi attack.

Muckleburgh is now one of the largest private Collections of working tanks, guns and military vehicles that is open to the public.

Sheringham Station, Norfolk

Partners in Crime filmed in Sheringham station on the North Norfolk railway, to stand in for the station of nearby Cromer. Still operating today, the railway is run almost entirely by volunteers.

With working Steam engines running every day from April to October, the North Norfolk railway allows visitors to ride on restored heritage coaches with views of the Norfolk coast.
