Can't be. The stars and stripes wouldn't make sense and I believe his house has a plaque. Not that there is any solid evidence to prove he came from there at all.

My guess is it's the birthplace of a founding father.

Hadn't noticed either!

Blind as a bat!

Nope....not Shakespeare. Woody was close though, and Doug's obviously got it.

It's to do with a name you've all heard......

Harvard House, where the dude that founded the American Uni/College lived.

House of his mother actually, but close enough. I have a close-up of the plaque on the front which I will post later. Well done Igs and Mic, but Doug was there first, and it's all thanks to Eno who spotted Stratford
