Hi,Looking at the photo above, I agree - it could be a wood anywhere - but in fact it's not - it's Sutton Park...
Yes! It's true. After a gap of about 3 years, I recently returned to less-than-sunny Birmingham to take photos around Sutton Park for the book project and also a mooted Mouse of Commons/Sutton Park crossover story that I've had in the pipe-line for some time, which has - as yet - not been written.
Anyway - here are some of the photos from the trip.
More soon!!

Above. The gravel pit which featured a number of times in the show - most notably in episode 50, where Phil was attacked (by a dinosaur, if I remember correctly!)
Above. The gravel pit again - more overgrown than in the 90s. But really rather pretty.
Above. One of the roads in Sutton Park - the Sutton Coldfield side of the park.
Above. Autumn had come to Sutton Park. But no sign of any tacky monsters. :)
Above. Again - the Sutton Coldfield side of Sutton Park - where episode 3 was filmed, 15 years before.
Above. Some of the roads have now been pedestrianised. So evil monsters can no longer drive their cars through the park. hehe.
Above. Keeper's Pool. There used to be an outdoor pool here until recently - but now you'd never know it had ever been there.
