SO

By the time Carlton revived Crossroads, they had scaled down their Birmingham site, and scaled up there Nottingham one, so that NOTTINGHAM was now the major facility and it is BIRMINGHAM and Abingdon that essentially exist only for regional news.
So, despite Crossroads being set in a fictional area of BIRMINGHAM (King's Oak), it is filmed in NOTTINGHAM. Even the outdoor set of the hotel exterior is at Carlton Nottingham. I suspect that even location filming is done in Nottingham (as King's Oak is supposed to be a leafy suburb, and leafy suburbs of any town or city look much the same).
Crazy, ain't it?
