Absolutely correct - it IS Basingstoke!
The significance is that the young lady in the picture, Sarah Sutton, was born in Basingstoke. Sarah played Nyssa in Doctor Who between 1981 and 1983. So that's the link. Also, as one or two of you know, I also lived in Basingstoke in the early 1970s. And yes, I DID get her to sign the map! She told me that it was the very first time anyone had ever asked her to sign a map! Surely not?!!! I am either mad or sad. Or perhaps both.
(I am of course lobbying hard for the role of the next Doctor - or the Master, I'm not choosey! - but with very little success thus far...)
