Board MeetingUntil ten years ago I confess that I was a confirmed southerner and looked suspiciously at anything 'north of Watford' - however increasing age led to my retirement  in the balmy glades of the south Midlands which I now accept is perhaps vaguely acceptable?

Seriously though - we'd be glad to find something perhaps north of Oxford and south of Nottingham which would means reduced transport costs for all concerned in getting there!

Cheers

With current restrictions, spending too much time reading forums and adding pointless comments

Checked on Wikipedia to find out. At least half a dozen places claimed to be the geographical centre. Add to that a couple of estimated centres of population.

Kirkby Mallory, from memory, isn't it?

 

Ooops, I was thinking of the centre of England, ignoring the bit on the top and the bit on the side.....!

If you are a true Norton enthusiast, surely it's Bracebridge Street, Birmingham...................

Definitely not Woolwich, Andover or any of the others.

I understood that unfortunately Meriden is central to the u.k.( as in meridian) although it is my belief that Bracebridge Street is the centre of the known universe
