For me location was nota problem! Mark very kindly emailed me that photo with a few lines of darkly veiled hints. After several searching emails he finally coughed up a bit more info and three days after his fine Roach, I was there. Fishing the wrong side of the river to start with but eventually finding the right area.

The river was in even better nick and I had several net Roach with half a dozen over 1lb. The best didn't quite make 2lb but was a very welcome 1lb 13oz:
Apparrently, if I as much as whisper the location, I'm dead!
Seriously, thanks for your generosity Mark, I had an excellent days fishing with those Roach and some decent Dace, Chub and a bit of pike trouble as well!
Mark has had oodles more big Roach than I and his article makes frustrating sense of Roach fishing on the Dorset Stour.
As can be seen from the followingphoto, it was many years ago, I fished a particular stretch many, many times for it's famed Roach but failed consistently. Finally on just one day I had 8 good Roach with the best going 2lb 11oz. Never before, never again!
