When you look closely at the village you find that most of the roads lead nowhere, and the layout doesn't really make sense.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477727620596783913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294802376557801671.post-21098057506423334782011-04-10T21:36:43.427+01:002011-04-10T21:36:43.427+01:00It was the film set for band of brothers I believe...It was the film set for band of brothers I believe, quite scary that you could build a whole village for a tv series then knock it all down, I bet Hollywood and the surrounding areas are a treasure trove for magically appearing/dissappearing buildings<br />My original thought was it was the buncefield oil depot but that's a few miles westJohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294802376557801671.post-71697114058560553752011-04-10T02:45:43.056+01:002011-04-10T02:45:43.056+01:00You're sort of on the right track Jim.
