The last few of these have been really difficult and this week's is no different. So i need some help, please ...

"This town is hardly on the tourist map - it made its name in heavy industry, in particular as the base of a game-changing machine. It was once the patch of a famous fascist, and was visited by an equally notorious but diametrically opposed political figure nine days before he was assassinated. Name the town.!
The pictures are:
(a) what looks like a mill (with a tall chimney) in red brick nestling in some trees
(b) a picture of a seemingly Asian country with domes and minaretty buildings. There's also a guy in Asian dress with a black beard and turban, holding a stick.
(c) a still from "Porridge" with Fletch and G odber looking out of the picture.
(d) some kind of industrial machine with a big spoked wheel and pistons (or whatever, I know nothing about these things).

Hope someone can help, I am completely stuck! Thanks in advance, Chox.

Hi folks, have just discovered the answer ... for those interested, it's Smethwick. Oswald Mosley was the MP for Smethwick, which was visited by Malcolm X just before he was assassinated. And there used to be loads of heavy industry in Smethwick, and Godber hails from the West Midlands.
