The place I saw was at the end of MacArthur Road, Cradley Heath, Maths Girl, a cul-de-sac full of small factories and situated off Bridge Street, a few yards from where the road bridge crosses the Stour and divides Cradley from Cradley Heath.

Thanks for this Dennis - I'll get a map out in the morning and follow it up.

Thank you to to Jimmy for that article from the Bugle - it is always interesting to read something that has a very personal connection.

You mentioned the Sir Robert Peel, Dennis. I've heard it's up for sale, is this correct?
