One town, many places
The Market Shipborough screen atlas
A location-by-location key to the composite geography created from Swaffham, the north Norfolk coast and places beyond.
How the fictional town is assembled
Swaffham supplies the civic centre: Market Place, the Buttercross, Kingdom & Kingdom and the Startled Duck. Wells-next-the-Sea supplies harbour and lifeboat geography, while Holkham supplies the open beach and coastal scale. Editing turns those distinct places into one apparently continuous town.
