Its isolated position—right in the heart of a bustling motorway interchange—means few get the chance to see inside, let alone appreciate its rich history. Undeterred by the surrounding rush of traffic, I managed to visit this curious structure, which you can see in the accompanying video. Situated on the central island of the busy M5 junction at West Bromwich, the gatehouse is the sole surviving remnant of the grand Sandwell Hall estate.
