http://www.mudcat.org/The%20Beech doesn't go anywhere because it isn't a complete link. The mudcat.org part would go to mudcat, but the "The%20Beech" doesn't give a browser any information that takes it within mudcat (like a thread id) and if it were a link outside the mudcat it wouldn't have the mudcat beginning.

Were you trying to travel away from mudcat with that link?

I just plugged in your information "the Beech, Beech Road, Chorlton, Manchester" into Google and came up with this:
