Practicalities
Residential displays have no facilities of their own — no parking, no toilets, nowhere to warm up — so it is worth knowing what is around. Within about three miles of the Phoenixville cluster, OpenStreetMap maps 0 public car parks and 9 public toilets. Only 20 cafés or takeaways nearby, so bring a flask if you want one.
