I'd no idea where that is either - however a quick Google and http://www.savileshall.co.uk/page.php?id=16It's on Clarence Dock adjacent to the Armouries. Shame they couldn't put the book of remembrance somewhere more people could get to it, like the Town Hall or the Civic Hall.

This is a link (if it works!) to a just over 2 minutes video showing Jimmy opening Saviles. It should bring a chuckle to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGE98INL ... re=related
