D'oh! I had misspelt the town. Thanks Zozo!

Thank you. The two groups were sufficiently related that I regarded them as one group of 19, not two groups that summed to 19.

I have a couple left that refused to be solved:
19D Exclusive group sitting upright (6) I have .e.a.t. I want to put select in but the a in crosser from 28A seems to parse ok.
56D car backing up a little. (6) I have .a.s.n
Any strong hints to wrap it up very welcome.

For the first one you need to insert one of the abbreviations for an obscure term from heraldry.
For the second you place another abbreviation under an inversion of a word for "a little bit". The answer is a brand name of a motor vehicle

Thanks, Barretter. I see the second now. I’ll work on the first.

19D was my last one in too. I think the shorter answers are hard in these sort of puzzles - the wordplay in the clue itself is only giving you two or (in this case) three letters, which feels counterintuitive.

I would never have got 19d without googling. Heraldry is not my strong suit.

Getting there slowly, but bewildered by 64ac - I have K-O--, I'm assuming a small shop? But then what does that make 48d (-I-S---E) ?
Also a hint on 1d would be most appreciated - I have F----.

No, 64a isn't a small shop, it's someone's name. I kind of reverse engineered it from 42d.

48d doesn't refer to the biscuit.

1d, 'single-heartedly' means dropped one of a pair of letters in the middle of 'worried too much'.
