Literally the only thing I know about your town is that it has a prison (near?!). It looks quite nice!

There is a big Nestle coffee factory in Hayes, where I used to live.
Its quite funny how one building can make the whole town smell.
They even made T-shirts about it.

1845, wow... :p

You reminded me of when I was in the States and talking to this guy in a bar, he said he lived in a really old house dating back to 1820. I didn't have the heart to tell him that my parents house was built in the late 17th century and that wasn't really that old in British (or indeed European) terms

17th century cool is it haunted?

[firky]

I think it was built in 1690, it's part of an old peel tower so it's quite possibly haunted by soldiers or something.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_tower

Peel towers (also spelt pele) are small fortified keeps or tower houses, built along the English and Scottish Borders in the Scottish Marches and North of England, intended as watch towers where signal fires could be lit by the garrison to warn of approaching danger. By an Act of Parliament in 1455 each of these towers was required to have an iron basket on its summit and a smoke or fire signal, for day or night use, ready at hand.

A line of these towers was built in the 1430s across the Tweed valley from Berwick to its source, as a response to the dangers of invasion from the Marches. Others were built in Cumberland, Westmorland and Northumberland, and as far south as Lancashire, in response to the threat of attack from the Scots and the Border Reivers of both nationalities.
