Jim, Hi. Sorry to miss you in Ludlow (Don't do social media nowadays) & afraid I won't be able to make the 2nd April. either (will be at the seaside).

I don't think there is a bench in Quality Sq in Ludlow, but I think the one being recommended is on the market square next to Vision Express. Next door to that is the Deli on the Square, who do great coffee.

The bench is the same one I met you on way back in the 2010's when you sat on a bench for your BBC programme. I think I managed to get you to pace out the shop frontages on the market square when you'd finished (a multiple of either 11 or 22 yards, matching the medieval burgage plots) 😎

I've never forgotten the 'burgage plots' knowledge, and I've been reminded of it when walking through numerous other towns! I think I might be confused about Quality Square, but it's the one next to Vision Express that people have directed me towards. Shame I won't see you, but enjoy the seaside!

Another cracking episode. I loved Roy and Tree and their story. Is it bad that I'm laughing at how you missed seeing the right bench and it's opposite an opticians 🤣🤣👓
