Using www.mapquest.co.uk takes me to the correct town, but no map.
I have tried all the cookie and unblocking I can think of.

I had JS enabled, but referrer blocked.
I would rather NOT unblock referrer, but might never use Mapquest again as

I'm a fan of http://www.openstreetmap.org

If it's wrong, you fix it. I've moved a number of local landmarks around

and other people have come along and corrected their location.
