Dear Robotham, Herewith a cartographical effort which I hope will enable you to find the No. 2 Shadow Factory. On arrival at Stonebridge, turn to the right for Birmingham, go along for about three quarters of a mile past the Aerodrome (which is on the right hand side) and then ask for Lode Lane, which is a turning on the left at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. No. 2 Shadow is about a mile and a half up this road, on the left. Yours sincerely, S.B.Wilks. Dictated but not since read by Mr. S.B. Wilks. | ||
