Although not meeting the criteria for listing the Brookside Close will be recorded by the NMR and the results available via PastScape www.pastscape.org.uk<http://www.pastscape.org.uk/> as we trawl all non list cases and decide if they warrant recording in the national inventory. We've already decided well want to record the Brookside close when we receive the files. There are a number of iconic film and TV locations already referenced in the record including 'Uncle Monty's Cottage' from Withnail and I which was in the news last week. The built historic Environment meets contemporary popular culture. You paper sounds interesting Martin.

When's it out John? Brookside Close created an interesting simulacrum using real houses converted into permanent sets for the drama, which contrasted it to the wobbly walled sets of many other British soaps of the period. These houses have now been converted back into domestic dwellings, adding a new chapter to the biography. Seriously, the idea that the site isn't old enough is an interesting one, given some of the other designations that are proposed.

English Heritage is not considering it for listing at this stage as the buildings are not old enough to be eligible.
