Of course we all know the band lived there for several years in hte early 70's. I have a 2 part question here. First, was Penguin or MTM the final album they recorded there. Second, where in England was it and does it still exist?

MTM. I think it's still there.

Ok I thought it was MTM. If I remember right, it was a quite large piece of property in the countyrside.

I went to have a look at Benifold (as it's now called) last summer, and it's still in great shape. It's VERY big, with tennis courts etc, and a very large dog, which put me off taking a close look. I got to the top of the drive before I lost my nerve

The drive is very long and winding, and it's a very impressive house. Easily £1 million. The surrounding area is very quiet and wooded, with lots of little lanes and paths. A few minutes walk from the house I found The Crown pub, (from 'Down At The Crown') which was closed at the time, unfortunately - it doesn't open all day. It's a lovely area if any of you guys are ever in the south of England - go and have a look
