Not far from Camberwick
Green is Trumpton, a bustling town deep in the county of
Trumptonshire. A typical day in Trumpton will find Mr Munnings busily
printing posters for the Fire Brigade's Band Concerts (every Thursday
at 2:30pm at the band stand in Trumpton Park).
Mrs Cobbit will be selling flowers in the market
square and Miss Lovelace arranging the window display in her hat shop
or taking her three 'pekes' (Mitzy, Lulu and Daphne) for a walk.
As always, The Mayor will be keeping order from
the Town Hall while Chippy Minton and his son Nibbs dash about mending
things. But Trumpton is probably best remembered for Captain
Flack's roll call of fire-fighters outside Trumpton Fire Station :
"Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb".
This fictional town (A lovely little town with a
statue of Queen Victoria in the middle of the square) was the creation
of Gordon Murray and the capital of Trumptonshire, with nearby
villages Camberwick Green and Chigley having their
own separate series. Brian Cant provided the narration.
HISTORICAL NOTE
All the original figures and scenery from Trumpton, Camberwick
Green and Chigley were burnt by Gordon Murray once
