Take a trip to Larkin country in the much-loved series,

inspiration for the ITV drama THE LARKINS starring Bradley Walsh

''There!'' Pop said. ''There''s the house. There''s Gore Court for you. What about that, eh? How''s that strike you? Better than St Paul''s, ain''t it, better than St Paul''s?''
