    For 25 I guessed Rushall at first, but that isn’t strictly Brum

    Well neither is Quarrybank (Quarrybonk I believe it’s pronounced :D), Solihull, Sutton Coldfield for that matter :thumbsup:

  12. Solihull and Sutton Coldfield both have Birmingham post codes, although they have different councils. Falcon Lodge is about 5 minutes walk from where I lived for 34 years before moving to Barry, so I don’t know how I didn’t get that :oops:. I’m not really sure where Quarrybank is.

  13. Rushall is probably right. The quiz title is “In & around Brum” :thumbsup:

  18. I thought Longbridge for 19 which references the car factory which used to be British Leyland, now foreign owned :thinking:

    All that is left is the main entrance buildings on Groveley Lane and it's MG but owned by the Chinese.
