Dist:0.3km<br/>The county boundary between Solihull and Warwickshire in this area is generally the centre of Hob Lane, but it has one curious kink at this point to include this farmhouse within Warwickshire, though much of the farmyard and buildings are in Solihull borough.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The marker reads 'Caution buried pipeline -UKOP- Leg T-M7 -Km 24.95' The United Kingdom Oil Pipeline (UKOP) is an oil products pipeline opened in 1969 and connecting the two (then) Shell refineries of Stanlow (Cheshire) and Shell Haven (Thames Estuary). It is administered and operated by the British Pipeline Agency (BPA) which is jointly owned by Shell and BP. UKOP transports 7.5 million tonnes of mixed products each year distributed to major oil terminals at Buncefield and Kingsbury with spurs to Northampton and Nottingham. UKOP now draws its products from Shell Stanlow in the north and Petroplus Coryton in the south, with smaller volumes from tankage at Shell Haven. UKOP carries two grades of petrol, two grades of kerosene (including Jet A-1) and two grades of gas oil/diesel. (Information from wikipedia, July 2010)
