Apparently some guy researched and compiled the list and published it himself and the MBA tried to ban it etc. etc. and only a handful of copies made it into circulation. Must check to see if he still has it....

Geograph is the best reource for this - ID suspiciously isolated buildings on the OS map then check the location on geograph. Takes fecking ages but will show up a few gems :wink:
Thank you. That is brilliant.
