Close westbound That's from Great Portland Street Station 2 which is part cheap station it's all because of a burst water main the SUV opted very early this morning so they reopen lane 3 but the traffic is still jammed up on the used back to Kings Cross nor sucker stop start as well northbound from the back to violent bout through to the a bouncer queue some an 11 and 12 turning back in both directions from council and the claim that later the reason for this by the way is that the road but flyover was closed for about an hour and a half for us that washed it in with the spillage there and that was that's now been cleared from the worst still looking at things from park are now this is improving so at least the traffic is moving past the park itself towards the lights that's where the gas works and the temperature of lights and a bit more travel at 1130. Radio 94.9 f.m. And on b.b.c. Sounds. This is b.b.c. Radio. And hopefully in this half an hour we're going to be attempting to get some answers to some mysteries.

Will also be in so we're going to be having that discussion between $1130.00 in 12 between now and then we're going to try and so some queries and we begin to begin with these circular holes by a bus stop in Chelsea and the 1st person to tell us about it is Brett in Wendy not Library. But and says So would you reckon these are well when I was a kid in the early seventies a more scope. We used to get all copper coins and if you want them on a ridge and just twist them around some of the pics are not arse to prick they're not actually the other actually quite soft yet and you want a real why and then which is the picked us to show and I'm up and it was really cool on your program going to reserve the last week or like what we saw when she said exactly the same thing she's telling you exactly the same thing you know not something I'll remember yes and you know this is. Perfectly succulent. Salie perfect and if you know I mean I haven't seen the photograph but if you look at where it is I can almost say Yeah I. Can almost guarantee it will play and I each certain sort of heart range because it's where the kids are buying for the past you know and I just wish now it's not just the title on primary school where. There was a little talk you know I'm and I wonder if this is a school nearby that. Well we don't which. I mean even the thought and idea I would imagine is go be a scolding at the law so you reckon it's key but back in the 70s would you have been using old pre-decimal as if you don't forget what you're like yeah it would be increased decimal it would have been to the Certainly a certain charm but I don't know is whether they used to play coy and as most are you'll probably find that the variant the lamb is you must find a whole 10 years old and then it will be to tell you I'm the one playing to win Bret thank you very very much let's talk about the song subject to pulling back to see how the pope. Did not do you know this will. Very well just don't post actually. What they call its own city. What exactly was going to strike you after you get caught in your choice to corral a man around I shall know oh tell you the results you know all day well mostly cowboy Chelsea friends or some of them tell me I want to say they also know. I'm going to win their new site Oh decorates. Choice should such statements go and you know sometimes you put your initials there or your nightmare I don't know a couple lines and I will do you all you responsible for any of those hugs Yeah. Yeah when I have there is always been major record oh the one some sort of well I musta been there no one in 7374 I really said I'm right what are you gonna marry say Well look I know you're. Very serious know what it looks like a recent school nearby but I lost some there are some young folk who for. Years now still live well I swear you go to Boston to get time but I'm sure we cherish like a fight here knowing you know what we know is going. Real Well you know why it will . All work just on your all sorts. Going to mention last night's results. So they go there is the. He did something it was Chos he fights back in the 70s standing in a barn to get the prospects of the to their estate embassy stand in the bold Chelsea we have a good day how many kids. And that's how they don't you twist the code I've never done this another member doing it is kids too but but I ask you what is a not so but rang up so yes what it is we said that and not only did the brief how it was done we found that one of the blokes What did. That was fantastic I love notes agrees this is why. Hanna says the wall in the old Richmond right ice rink had exactly the same holes all the way along where you had to wait to get in always made by the 2 unfortunately the building is now long long gone says and in Shipman's Bush so that query is now sorted now we're going to try and find out about that piece of land in south Kane which has sat empty and derelict for a very long time. And. Know who goes 1st Chris right Chris goes 1st on this Christian Epsom had occurred. And I wrote what can you tell us about this piece of land long walk and she was what was on the piece for. The telex hotel really want to chose to respond before this I was a farmer and he called. Me Ground 0 actually back about 83. And one of the junction the cranes got now which I'm right and there's nothing we can do so I'm sorry but we managed to save the church next door which was quite good clear you there were actually a fire a follow on that you were there that's what I was there I was that Michael saw what happened basically the ground. Around the car park at the back because talk about the stall is actually called the hotel called top but they make splendid it across where the hotel was because it was going to be rebuilt now the land itself will think this but I think it was owned by you and your government right because they had. Decided to run you never see with the sea Exactly. And we were told this was owned by the way they had it for years and never did just fine with it it was just. An experienced pilot and it was probably explains why it's not built on Ok so by silly there was a it's not an old bomb so I. Don't think it was I was pretty certain it wasn't. Right and so there you go so Chris says you know it was a fireman in there was his pledge it was far far but it was there was a hotel that down he was a shell Let's see what Lean In shows he says Hello Lynn to the guy was really interesting. Because I watched the piece who won the primary. Yeah I got a profit off. A friend of mine. And. The piece of land in the 8 is he had a license to use it as a couple but it was and they had to have some security that. He was always helping to get he was a developer so he was he had desired on developing that line about surprise but he told may but they. Belong to the center of the ins which is the church and church the side I mean it's a very impressed with church an old Victorian cuticle and it was the diocese is. Trinity Brompton. So as far as I was aware little lamb by. The church but when this it's the cop up now there's no one mass monitoring it in the hall to get in it's not like a car park it can use right here and you have to stop some sort of knowledge as to where it is it actually took to the offices there would screw up our counter example where isn't figure out the mystery one more miss from Germany in full another German. Our robber but is it true you spoke to the car park attendant Yeah I'm just talked to hundreds of wrote up grasping names just as much like see into the car park up to the attendant who is a man with a sort of foreign accent I don't hold in the situation that you would turn out some queries at the time the land is owned by the Iranian embassy and this is what we just heard that seems very unlikely yet Ace was approximately 200000000 pounds Wow why don't they sell develop a p.c. They don't want 2 people and they don't need the money so a simple open to an attempt 50 years and remember to say you know something he said before they do it the building that was there was where the Chinook reroll lived Wow And it got bombed this is only what they call pockets and yes all men and women are going to need him so I don't know don't know how to ask where we can show the leader that saw the Arabic soul of x. And look. Here So that's probably basically sound by the Iranian embassy with 200000000 pennies and we don't want to sell it I don't need the money and the showers are on you throughout the house on the side that's what you see he's told me so much I'm assuming all money telling you thank God I'm just telling me what that sounds Oh absolutely for example Jimmy thank you so I think if we don't pick the story it goes like this. So it was a big house owned by the shower of Iran and therefore by the spy of Iran by some study it went from being the shell's house to being a hotel which wouldn't be unlikely given the scale of it that hotel burned down we know that happened because we spoke to one of the far far as it was there at the time since that burnt down it's been an empty so I it's still loved by the state the nation of Iran. Need the money to go you. And I have done nothing with it so if you maybe if you got 200000000 spade quid you could try it but that's the story behind it I think we've done very well. To a. Few. You . Mean. To. You. Hour. News please. Click on a display and get such good news for let's. Begin with you. In the summer. Please. Please. Please please. Please please. Please. Please please please. A couple of people have told us that apparently the that you saw it in South came which is owned by the Iranian state they've actually plans to build a new embassy on that site on more than 2 or 3 occasions but I keep getting knocked back and as a planning permission obviously the building that I've proposed isn't right or whatever for whatever reason so I think the theory is that it will be a new Iranian Embassy site. But they go past planning regulations and make it not doing so so they go that's we've definitely So in that one out got perfect and we sort out the holes in the wall in Chelsea caused by Cho young Chelsea here but it's I'm going home of the games board thing and we're going off the games bit more the board last night. So that's where we are with notes agrees and we still got to get we still need to find a is it going to add a little piece of information here on this or this is the query about Apple town and Perry Vale Perry Vireo n n l paternity pretty much next to each other really up there in Northwestern and so south of Harrow is where they are really several rows north west note west of Wembley that way and Perry Vale I'm pretty certain comes from a vial of Perry trees of pear tree but outputs an apple down one of my listeners know says. That he was at the Museum of London on Sunday for the Clash exhibition and he was looking at a map of London circus $1748.00 he says I started the map from around Wembley and noted in area on the map called Apple down just to the south of this was Perry Vale was Apple town did Apple town become Alpert's And so he said it is on a map of 1748 as Apple town. Did that become a. Pay as Apple was apples and pears those which see if there's any clues even if. You used. Me. Lunch to say. This Fleet Week and home please don't. Get too far with it you. Know I. Don't think in the. Form. Months. Older. Than the sun there's a sun then there's a. New song. To sleep somewhere. Down the long room. Tomorrow. Me. Please please. In the living. League son are you. Cute. It's sweet. Sleep. But. Screw you it's own. Goal to kill you. Lianne La Havas some bittersweet time for the news headlines. Good morning the health secretary is due to make a statement to M.P.'s at lunchtime on the corona virus outbreak that spreading across Europe this morning Greece has confirmed its 1st case France has reported its 2nd death and in Italy a 12th person has now died here testings being extended to people displaying flu like symptoms at 11 hospitals and $100.00 g.p.

Radio London travel bill Sheldrake. Thanks Matthew the Malabo verge we still have to those close of westbound That's from Portland Street Tube Station which is part of station because of a water main which burst very very early this morning the traffic a little bit slow coming in on these 2 birds back from the Kings Cross for latent high road but partially by a breakdown just by Sedgwick's that's they can slow from correlation. With. Traffic slow down again I have to pass the park itself so. That one lane is crawling along basically because of. Traffic lights and. Just like yesterday it's Groundhog Day. Over. Much much better. Because. Of the course of this morning just after. That crazy. Clive has been doing a bit more digging about that piece of land over in South Kane and apparently. Everything we've said is correct it's just the order of things it used to be the Imperial Hotel was on. Which in 1974 and he said that it was back in the seventy's was bought by the Shah of Iran for 2250000 pounds in one in 74 piece of land which we're now told just the land alone is worth 200000000 pounds so I want to bad investment it was bought by the shower. For whether we ever lived in it but I'm in the hotel down. Since then there have been plans put in to build an Iranian embassy there but they've been rejected by the council so that's where we are and that's why we are that's why it's there excellent so we so it out 2 of our queries that means we've got 2 to go we've got these strange kind of enclosed old craft on the canal at King's Cross what are they where are they from why are they there and we've got the mysteriously named altitude was it ever pulled down now I don't doubt for a single moment the Perry vial was the vial of payors Perry you know champagne Perry and all that champagne berries midnight story. But wasn't was Albertson which is pretty much next to Perry though was that Apple town as it appears to say on a map from 7 in something or other. So those are the 2.
