A piece of Black Country history
This is an easy two-stage multi cache which can be done in under ten minutes. The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates - please follow the instructions below to find the cache.

Cache instructions
 We suggest you start this multi cache by parking at N 52° 28.566 W 002° 05.546 and from there it's a very short walk to the chain shop and the listed co-ordinates where you will need to locate a black and white plaque. On the plaque are two dates - look at the first one and use this date as follows to find the co-ordinates of the cache:

N 52° 28.(554 + the second digit) W 002° 05.(541 + the third digit)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com

About the location
 From the eighteenth century chain making was a major industry in the Black Country, particularly in the villages of Netherton, Old Hill and Cradley Heath. The trade developed due to the ready supply of raw materials in this area: fuel, locally produced high quality wrought iron and a highly skilled workforce of trained ironworkers. In 1911 there were 6,550 people working in the chain making industry and by 1914 the Black Country had an international reputation for good craftsmanship. Both men and women were employed in the industry, many in back yard workshops such as this one at Mushroom Green.

The chain shop is sometimes opened once a month for live demonstrations. When we hear any details regarding dates for this we will post them here.

Getting here
 Mushroom Green Chain Shop can be found by taking St Anne’s Road from Five Ways Junction Cradley Heath, left at the roundabout and past Dudley Wood Church on Quarry Road. Once you have come up the incline the car park is on the left. Park here and walk left down the cul-de-sac at the end of the car park.

You are looking for a very appropriate container given the name of this location. The cache contains a log only so please bring a pen! No spoilers in your logs or photos please!

Parking can be found just off Quarry Road at the given waypoint.

Congratulations to maxtrev for being first to find!
