She's already said in her reply that's she's on the coast at Whitehaven.
Hutton Moor End is a long way from Whitehaven, Hutton Moor End is
nearer to where my brother has his caravan near Hutton Roof.

It was on the opposite side of the road to the Regent but a little bit further down the road towards the Chi.

[Pilot]

It was called Hedworth Hall, it was only the Golden Slipper on a Saturday night as far as I can remember.

[memor]

Did it have a grand edifice with colums and a fancy big door ?

[Pilot]

Yes thats the place Memor.
