So where is Tipham?

Tipham is a town in the North West of England. It started as a small village but swiftly grew during the industrial revolution.

If you visit Tipham, I have listed below a few points of interest. However, beware! Like Ambridge in Borsetshire, if you decide to visit Tipham, your satnav may cause you problems. 

Points of interest

The original village centre is now within a conservation area, and several buildings and structures have been listed. These listings include the equestrian statue of Edmundo J Cunningham. (See below for further information.)

In the centre, Tipham is well-served by several traditional English pubs. The Red Lion has its own microbrewery attached

On the outskirts of Tipham, you will find the canal and marina. All the original canalside buildings have been repurposed. One section is now a large public house, and another a local museum.

Further out, there is  Cunningham Hall, built by the ubiquitous  Edmundo J Cunningham,  in memory of his late wife.

Don’t miss the deer park.

Tipham has associations with the American milliary, and many roads on new estates have been named after US States.

There are other reminders of the Second World War. Roftipham was a munitions factory. When Roftipham was constructed, it was on the outskirts of Tipham but was absorbed by Tipham’s expansion. Roftipham has now been converted into starter units for small businesses.

Local food stuffs.

The most famous local food is the Tipham Torpedo. Rumour has it that the Tipham Torpedo will shortly be registered under the Protected Geographical Indication scheme.

Jim’s Revenge

Although retired, Jim Godwin takes a lowly part-time job at Slobend, Fleecem & Skinnem out of boredom and the need to eke out his pension.

Unfortunately for Jim, he’s had a prior altercation with two staff members. Worse, Jim knows that they are drug dealers on the side.

The two main drug-dealing ringleaders at Slobend, Fleecem & Skinnem, try to get rid of Jim by playing pranks on him. However, Jim is made of steamer stuff and refuses to leave. He then realizes that Moira Buckle, another staff member, is also being bullied and coming to her aid.

With the help of his younger relatives and friends, Jim uses cunning and computer technology to get his revenge.
