Many of the outdoor locations were filmed in the local area. The museum is housed in the old fire station at the rear of Thetford Guildhall, which itself stood in for Walmington-on-Sea Town Hall in several of the episodes. It is run by volunteers who, throughout the year, attend many 1940s events in East Anglia with Jones’ Van
