The Village Shop, where originally the Shopkeeper only sold maps of The Village. That's why the shopkeeper was always keen to sell his customer maps of the Village, "buy one, get one free. Makes the perfect gift!" But that would have been rather dull, so the set was dressed with a variety of items, and upon which The Village Map was printed, on cups and saucers, plates and trays. Aprons, mugs, tea pots, and 'T' shirts, in that way you always know where you are in the Village!
The map itself is loosely based on the street plan of the city of Oxford, in the county of Oxfordshire, and was drawn by production designer Michael Pickwoad over several weeks. Its a very childish map, which doesn't actually tell you anything, because in the Village you're not supposed to know anything!
Be seeing you
