Is it B*****d Hall, Much Wenlock, Shropshire.

Meleri

Spot on Meleri, well done.       

Richard le B*****d  owned the property in 1267 and it's called B*****d  Hall after the family.  Another unusual name in that area is the brook that run through the village and past the Church.     It's aptly named S**t Brook  or Shyte Brook on account of the contents that flowed in the Brook!

I shall inform my Mum and Dad, on their 60th wedding anniversary, of your outrageous slur!

Re your visit to Much Wenlock Hugo-- did you follow the Olympic Trail? A free leaflet guides you round the town following plaques in the pavement including Dr William Penny Brookes grave, the man who founded the modern Olympics. We found it very interesting when we visited a year or two ago.

[Hugo]

No, we didn't Nemesis.       My wife trailed around the shops while I had a quick look around the place.  I did see the trail and the plaque on the house though.   We're hoping to go there again so we may do it then.
It's a lovely place to go and there are plenty of old interesting buildings there.   

[Hugo]

What was here before they landscaped the area?     

[Yorkie]

I think it may be the old Holywell Railway Line, with the Station somewhere nearby.
 

[Hugo]

Well done Yorkie, it's the site of the old Holywell Railway Station.       

[Yorkie]

Hugo, I used the old photo trick and went back to your old posts,  about page 40 I think it was!

Detective at work!   

[Hugo]

I'll have to be more careful next time if I'm going to beat the Yorkie.        Well done though for your investigative work.     

[Hugo]

An easy one for us old folks, where is this building and what is it called?
