Brian Bennett's 'shed' was where he rehearsed for his first solo albums - see the cover of "Illustrated London Noise"

Did Hank Bruce Tony and Jet ever live all together at anytime apart from on tour, so that they could be ready for any TV or gig that came their way ? because by all accounts there were a lot of bands hungry for work.
I supose Cliff would have to be part of that as well ? maybe thats asking too much.

Don't think so - at least, not in London. Hank and Bruce stayed at Cliff's flat in Marylebone High Street, but Jet and Tony lived elsewhere. By about the end of 1959, at least three of the original Shadows were married, which would tend to militate against communal living.

On the other hand, it is known that the original line-up shared a house (reportedly, unsuccessfully) when doing a summer season at Blackpool, which must have been in 1961.

The tag for Abbey Road Studios appears to be somewhere near Piccadilly...

I've provided an alternative location...
