Just found this BBC webpage with some history of the locations for those of you who are interested...

Ah Ha, further investigations hav led me to find a website for Somerley House, which was used for Sir Edwards House.
It is www.somerley.com

According to Major Apple’s locations mentioned earlier in this post, here are some other locations I have been able to “map” for you.

The church Lynn got married in (and Mark Foster got buried !)
50°53'5.64"N 1°18'24.27"W

The Station
50°53'1.85"N 1°18'17.94"W

The Elephant (Mermaid) boatyard
50°52'57.30"N 1°18'18.15"W

According to MikeM, Sir Edwards House is Somerley House in Hampshire, if you search on “Somerley House, Hampshire” a house does pop up, not sure Google Earth has it pinned correctly as slightly below it is a much larger house.

Sorry, not too sure exactly which one is Jacks Cottage, and there are several marinas that could have been leo’s surf shack, if any one has anymore information I will happily drive about and have a little investigation about this or any other local building.
As I said earlier, I was only young when it was initially shown, so can’t remember lots of details!!

Here you go Frank and anyone else, if you paste the numbers below in the search bar of google earth it should take you exactly to the buildings. I have only done a couple today, but will list some more later.

Leisure Cruise Building
50 53'2.13"N 1 17'58.82"W

Jolly Sailor
50 52'54.59"N 1 18'15.52"W

Hello Sailorboy2, earlier you asked about the location of the leasure cruise building, it is the other side of the bridge to the elephant (mermaid) boat yard on the opposite side of the road.
The road is called Bridge Road, Bursledon. It is still in operation selling power boats today, although no Ken now!!!
I live about 1/2 mile from the area and although I was very young in the 80's I did watch it with Mum and Dad. Now I live in the area I am very interested to know all about it!!
