Description	This fine building is the headquarters of the famous Robertson Research, now Fugro Robertson Ltd. The building was originally a minor country house before its purchase with the estate by the Birmingham Hospitals Saturday Fund in 1892 for use as a convalescent home. It was extended considerably until 1927. During World War II the building was used as accommodation for workers on the secret Mulberry Harbours nearby [[SH7779]]. In 1970 the property was sold to the nascent Robertson Research and the home farm leased out.
