I wasn't aware that so many details (as against the town generally) had been identifying as inspiring places in the books. Is this documented anywhere, with reasons why the links have been made - or is really little more than informal rumours or beliefs that circulate generally?Sally wrote:We could centre a meeting in Bourne End again and include a tour of Peterswood, taking in the parts identified to have been the inspiration for the books. We could startiat the Spade Oak, identify the properties which could have been the Hilton's House in Haycock Lane (Colmoorholme Lane), and then tour along the river towards the station and complete the circle, ending up at The Spade Oak for lunch followed by another visit to Old Thatch.
