Go and find the walls
Market Square and The Crown in Stony Stratford can be visited, and so can the street in Tavistock Crescent where the Mother Black Cap stood. The Bampton telephone box and the Lancaster Road café are public but not pinned. Sleddale Hall, Stockers Farm, the Chepstow Place flat and the Glebe Place house are private, so they are named only.
