Geoff:
There is no road called Spinners End listed in my "A to Z of Greater 
London". Having lived in London for 45 years, I can recall no area 
with such a name - unless it's tucked away well on the periphery in 
one of the New Towns perhaps.

The Birmingham link is very interesting though. I'd forgotten that 
Dursley was a place. 

Mark you, there is a Mount Vernon hospital in Greater London.
