Tanworth-in-Arden was the filming location for the fictional village of Kings Oak
Kings Oak was the fictional village in the television serial Crossroads which ran on ITV between 1964 and 1988. The show was revived in 2001, the main building being renamed a hotel. In 2003, halfway through the third comeback series, ratings stated to decline, so it was decided to axe the programme for good. The final episode ended on a dream sequence in which one of the characters Angel Samson, played by Jane Asher, had thought up the whole thing. The character was actually working in a supermarket as a checkout operator.
The show is sometimes written as King's Oak.
Between 1964 and 1970 most of the scenes of the village were actually all recorded inside the Associated Television Studios in Aston, Birmingham. Still photographs would be used to illustrate Kings Oak and its locations during episodes; places used for these pictures included Bournville, Yardley and Sutton Coldfield.
