The Bell Marston Green.

My uncle Reg Hardy was the licensee of the Bell in the late 60's. I remember going with my cousins to watch them when they started building Chelmsley. Can anyone remember the name of the sweet factory that was next door to the Bell?

My great grandparents ran The Bell during WW2. Heard some great tales as a child about how they would sit in the pub and have a few drinks during bombing raids as they were tired of having to dive into bomb shelters all the time. One night Sheldon and what is now Chelmsley Wood were bombed and they realised how close they had been to being hurt. I live outside the UK now and was going to stop by and have a drink when I'm back next week. Might have a curry instead!
