I love it – GREAT WORK – another long-imagined project I would have never got round to doing myself. 114 songs and a map, picked over by pedants. So off the top of me head here’s a few more :
Bulbarrow Hill ?
Malmesbury on the Southern Edge of Salisbury Plain ?
Wem ?
Leominster ?
Three Cocks ?
Possibly also worth including are the 41 and 113 bus routes from ‘Little in the way of Sunshine’, which because of the mention of Duff Leg Bryn (of Wem) are almost certainly in Shropshire.
Though I must admit I have often wondered if the 113 should have been 513, as the latter goes from the same Whitchurch depot as the 41 (and would locate the staff canteen photo firmly in Whitchurch), through Duff Leg’s Wem, and would get Bryn to Shrewsbury where ample transport connections are available for Leominster.

Yes, its brilliant. We still need one for Bridgwater, as mentioned by Rob.
Oh, and Luton. ie Luton Town / Millwall 1985. So Millwall too at a push. (although I assume the re- enactment should have taken place at Luton at in this context Millwall is only a football club rather than a location).

@ myself (there’s nothing like being pedantic about your own geographical errors):
as I said above, my reference to “Malmesbury” was off the top of me head and should of course have been “Amesbury” in Climie Fisher. But nor is it “Avebury” as arrowed on Stuart’s map. All of them wonderfully atmospheric places steeped in ancient history and legend. [ I think the reason I wrongly associated Malmesbury with HMHB has to do with the fact that it was in Malmesbury Abbey that King Athelstan's great victory over the Danes, Scots, Norwegian Wools, etc. on a Wirral golf course in 937 is commemorated. One of several battles in the 9th and 10th centuries that decided which language we all speak as much as Hastings did, you know. ]
@ Dave F “Magdalene” is indeed the Cambridge college, “Magdalen” without the “e” being in Oxford (arguably a more famous and bigger college, so statistically more likely to be the one?). Legend has it that the Cambridge college added the “e” cos it was sicking of its post going to Oxford and vice versa. On the other hand both of them are pronounced “maudlin” so who knows ?
See also my lost post about “The Backs” being in Cambridge but Cambridge not having “quads”, which spookily ended up in another thread

@Exford: Understandable, I’d say – after all it’s the “Duke of Marlborough pub at Amesbury,” and it’s all too easy to stick the “Mar” sound on to “bury,” and arrive at somewhere quite wrong, even though seemingly quite right.
I don’t see a pin in Detroit yet, but maybe that’s because we’re all refusing to worship there. Likewise, the Frankfurt jazz-tip scene. (Nove On The Sly, of course.)

@ Uncle Greg (March 8th, above),
The above comment suggests you know the lyrics to the most difficult verse of “Multitude”, a song which we don’t yet have on this site ? I’ve just been trying to work it out but I don’t have my slowy-down-CD machine during the hols.
(I wonder if you’ve e-mailed Uncle Greg about this, Chris ?)
Anyway, is it possibly something like:
Where the ******* *** of Keith
In a sidestreet has no beef
With Elgin, Nairn or Brora any more?
(must admit before Greg’s post I thought of ‘Cawdor’, realised it wasn’t, and now I realise the clue was in the Highland League table all along – BRORA )
***** *** it’s not ‘transit van’ is it ? Sounds more like “tranted”.
As in a a transit van bringing regional league fans to an away game ?
As in “You must have come in a transit” ? (etc)

I’m not quite sure why the Wrekin is marked where it is but it’s way out!
The Wrekin is just south of the A5 between Shrewsbury and Telford, this marker needs to be moved to the correct location!
Also, as a Shropshire Lad, there is no marker for Wem from “Country Practice”, “Duff Leg Bryn had drank too much again, Most of Wem was steering clear of him”. Wem is a small market town, which used to have a thriving brewing industry, just north of Shrewsbury.
By the way, can you add to this map yourself or just submit suggestions?

And more off the top of me google: Burgh in Argyllshire (as in Chris de), Faraday (somewhere north of Melbourne Australia), Belltower (Montana, USA), and somewhere called Armani (a tiny hamlet in Latvia).
