I was on the Powell & Pressburger Yahoo e-group & got into some correspondence with one of the members who is organising a country film "set" walk on Sun 31st August '03. "A Canterbury Tale" was made in Kent in 1943. So here's some NGRs that I got hold of, since I can't make that date myself, should any BSP-ers want to either go along on 31/8, or plan their own trek for the Sunday after the Tunbridge Wells gig?
