I was contacted a few weeks ago by Chris Smith, who works at the new Housing 21 extra-care facility Knaves Court – the impressive, recently opened building near the Anchor Bridge. Chris works in the restaurant, and asked me If I’d publicise it here on the blog. I immediately agreed, but suggested that she might light to take some pictures of the new centre so I could turn it all into an article.

Chris kindly obliged and thanks to the power of t’internet, I present for you this engaging description of the lovely things Knaves Court has to offer. Remember that they’re all open to the general public, so why not pop in and check them out for yourself?

I thank Chris for her wonderful efforts. I must say, it all looks very posh. It’s long overdue, but now Brownhills has a modern facility to be proud of.

Chris had the following to say:
