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.

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