It is very confusing. I got Independent 8's address from Barry Atwood's website http://www.bfcc.biz/independent8mm.html as follows:

86 Ramney Drive, Enfield, Middlesex EN3 6DX

Now I copy and paste the above address to maps.google.com the result is Perry's Film with the address: 53 Church Rd, Hounslow TW5 0LU, United Kingdom

Can barry or someone explain?

cheers,

Very strange, it is the same on google.co.uk but the postcode alone gives the right location.

Very strange as I'm nowhere near where Ian lives, I've no idea, anyone?

think i figured it out. If you look here:
http://www.bfcc.biz/links.html you will see both addresses.
So google's database only has Perry's in their map database it seems, and because you are entering Barry's address, google is finding the correlation by making the best estimate by suggesting
Perry's. To test this theory, i tried another address from this page: Pinedene Films, 99 Hill Lane, Southampton SO1 5AE and it brings up Perry's as well...
Cheers,
Matt
