Advice on how to find info about a plot of land?

[Tookey]

There is quite a big history attached to that plot of land. It isn as simpe as you'd think.

Absolutely. I am going to just throw the idea at the council for a 1 in a million punt. Twenty mins to write and send an email better than twenty mins watching s__t on the box is my reasoning. The site might not be right but just putting 'aires' on their radar is worth it
