Some relatively recent local history!

As some of you know, one of the post-war claims to fame that Baldock has, is the fact that the 70s BBC sitcom, 'Porridge' did some of it's location filming here!
It is where the prison allotment scenes were made.
Unfortunatley the building (just outside the town) where they filmed these scenes burned down in the 1980s, but some locals remember it well.
According to one friend of mine, she once saw Richard Beckinsale leave the 'George and Dragon', as it was where he stayed during filming.
Another example of a small world.
