Soho Mint location question

Does anyone know where the Soho mint was actually located outside Birmingham England, i.e. the street address or a map?
Thanks for any help.

It was next to Hockley Pool, which may or may not exist any more. I think Hockley is northwest Birmingham.

I also have a reference to it being on 18 acres in Smethwick, which is also northwest Birmingham.

Brad - There is a really good book; "The Soho Mint" by Richard Doty. Expensive (I paid forty pounds for it), but a good book on Boulton and Soho. - Rob

I'll second the recommendation on The Soho Mint, excellent book. Just wish I could find my copy, I'd like to read it again. If I can't find it I'm going to have to buy another copy. (My third, I gave away my second copy to a Conder token friend.)

If anyone is after The Soho Mint book, then just wanted to let you know that I've got a couple of copies in stock at the moment.

Cheers
