BBC TV Studio was at Gosta Green my Mother worked there:)
 
Alf.....you are right.....the BBC was once at Gosta Green....they were also at Pebble Mill....but it still ain't the answer.....another clue....the actor Dinsdale Landen wrote a saucy book about one its occupants....
 
Using the Dinsdale Landen reference as a guide - didn't he write a book about HP Sauce? So would that make it the site of the HP factory?
 
Aston......you are almost there.....its not Park Road......but Park.....
Beatrice......the book was about the HP....and where is the HP....Aston C.........
