OK, the answer was West Bridgeford, Notts, where Trent Bridge and the City Ground (Notts Forest) are based. None of the wayfares are 'Streets'.

Replace with a quick easy one, what connects Camp Freemont with Fort Baxter, clue for any fans - MH, MH, MH!!!

OK, too easy but what's his connection to Phil Silvers?
As a clue, think 6 degrees of Bacon. (as the game that you have to connect two actors in less than six moves)

Which town in Britain has no streets?
Britain, not UK...
I did wonder that, Whitehead in NI that has no roads with the suffix street but its not that based on above

This is still somewhat ambiguous, I think; it seems to me that 'Britain' could be referring to either 'Great Britain' (the island comprising England, Wales & Scotland), or 'The British Isles', (which would include Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland).

But the QM is always right. (But I'm not sure why he sought to exclude Whitehead, anyway, as it still makes a good answer to the question 'Which town in the UK has no streets?', and West Bridgeford seems to now just be a suburb of Nottingham.)

The only reason is I knew for a fact West Bridgeford was so, didn’t google or anything!

WRT MH, in one Bilko ep, Bilko thought he was dying (or was pretending) and Colonel Hall confided in him his cadet nickname was ‘Melon Head’. Bilko got found out and Colonel Hall had him taken to the guardhouse and as a thinly veiled threat to embarrass col. Hall, called out MH, MH as we has taken away.

Me and my bro. use that now when we know something about each other that’s a bit tasty and we threaten to tell all.....

Pure class!!

So just to reiterate the current question. What or more to the point WHO connects Phil Silvers to Albert Pierrepoint?
I'm guessing it must be something like an actor playing both Bilko and Pierrepoint in different films or something like that.....
