Elizabeth Castle, St. Helier, Jersey. Visited there 3 years ago, shortly before catching up with OFSO & Woody in London. Pretty sure the Romans were there, ahead of a long line of others.

 Hello, Tyneside lady detective
Brenda Blethyn is a well-known visitor to locations in and around my Tynedale village as her alter ego.
I think I've said before, some of my happiest days were spent around Corbridge, Hexham, Riding Mill and Slaley

Looked it up.
My father read many of his paperbacks.
Never read him but just downloaded this book.
Based on the preview I can relate to the area it takes place in and the culture.
