Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.
Today you’ll find me in an English constituency that is represented in Parliament by a man of colour. About 3.5 kilometres from a place that features heavily in a successful* British TV show, and a ten minute walk from a museum dedicated to the locality’s most famous son, I’m in a county with a flag that lacks the colours red or green. The county’s name includes the name of the county town. Sixty years ago I would have been in a different county. The nearest professional football club play their home games in a ground about sixteen miles away and have a Congolese player in their squad. Travellers using the nearest railway station rely on electric trains for transportation, and, if they’re bound for London, generally alight less than eighty minutes after departing. The closest post office cohabits with a WHSmith. The nearest place of worship is frequented by Methodists.
