No direct experience, Tomo, but looking on Google earth there's a field at the back, by the railway line. 70 metres by 40 metres.

It has big white letters laid out on the ground alongside, saying the word "Bournville" so it looks like it belongs to the company. Might be worth a try.

Failing that, there is a nice sports pitch less than 300 metres to the SSW. It might even be the company sports ground by the looks of it.

Nearest place I've landed at is the police sports club, known as "Tally Ho". That's 2.7 miles / 7 minutes from Cadbury World, according to Google Earth directions.

Racking my brains from the dim and distant past.... I think there used to be an H on one of the car parks of the Patrick Motor Museum down on Lifford lane somewhere although I can't recall seeing it for some time now. It may be worth giving them a call.
