Frank, thanks for your message, and for not flying off the handle, as is often the response when people see their additions deleted.  What we need for this information to be included is not just evidence that the town really exists, but that John Nichols had that town in mind when he wrote the novel.  If you can find the long essay Nichols wrote about the novel and its adaptation into the film, that might help.  I have looked for it, but to no avail.  Cheers! -''''''The '45 "
