Um well I have the book here and I can't find the name of any town. They don't move to a town, they move to a village in Yorkshire that isn't named. It's just referred to as 'the country' and the only mention of town is 'the nearest town' which again isn't named.

So unless the stage show actually names a town I'd probably go with answer 'three chimneys' as that's the house that the kids move to.

Horsted Keynes station became "Mortonhurst" for the purposes of the film. The original book never actually specified a name (or even a location, although it was clearly within commuting distance of London). The ficticious Railway Company, The Great Northern and Southern Railway gives nothing away here either! A large heap of coal (with a wagon buried under it!) had to be provided in the up yard, for Peter's coal-stealing scene.;)


Thanks for posting this I would love to go and see this production
