Travel Inn (Ainley Top)

Gemma Tomkinson staffs the reception desk at this roadside Travel Inn in Ainley Top, where she eyes Vicky Fleming arrive with a smartly dressed man in his late 40s, looking unwell—a figure matching John Wadsworth's build and unraveling his alibi. John's blackout flashback hits hard: he wakes disoriented in one of its rooms, head pounding from a laced pint, sheets tangled around his confusion. CCTV cameras capture the lobby exchange, positioning the inn as a pivot point for deception, with dim corridors echoing the haze of forgotten nights and mounting police scrutiny.
