    From http://newbery.co.uk/community/contact I think the correct answer should be Hove and not just a geographical area such as a country - they make it simple and easy, don't they?

    Address:

    John Newbery Ltd,
    The County Ground,
    Eaton Road,
    Hove,
    East Sussex,
    BN3 3AF,
    England.

    You may be right but do you actually know that they make the bats there? I know it is their Retail outlet but can't see anything that says the bats are made there.
    As they say on their FAQ page, "Our bats are hand-crafted in England to create the best in power, balance and performance from each individual piece of willow."
    The "England" made does seem to be stressed in several places.
    I guess it's up to each person to decide which answer to use.
