  • The Granary Fisherwick Road | Lichfield | Staffordshire
    The Granary Fisherwick Road | Lichfield | Staffordshire THE GRANARY Stunning barn conversion of nearly 4,000ft2, steeped with history and amazing features, hidden in a private development of six country homes down a three quarter mile private driveway. The property has four bedrooms and five reception rooms including a very impressive drawing room with full height ceilings and gallery landing. Step Inside The Granary Converted in 1990 and said to be the tallest remaining barn in Staffordshire, the height of this Grade ll listed property offers a sense of grandeur as one enters the full height drawing room with flagstone floors and welcoming inglenook fireplace. A gated driveway leads to the integral double garage with the property enjoying two small garden areas, the former is perfect for entertaining with pergola and lantern lighted barbeque area. The latter is an easily maintained lawn area. The original barn was built in 1360 and unfortunately burnt down but it was rebuilt in 1540 and we still retain some of the original wall. There are Tudor roses imprinted into the beams and these little details add to the sense of times gone by, it really does feel like an old barn with an immense history. A spiral staircase leads from the family room up to a galleried upper floor office / snug. The galleried landing offers an additional area to relax and provides access to the show stopping dining room with vaulted beam ceiling overlooking the drawing room. A great gym/dance studio on the ground floor with window was originally part of the garage block and could be converted to a number of uses.

  • Advisory Visit River Blithe, Hamstall Ridware, Staffordshire Sutton Coldfield Angling Society 2Nd September, 2008
    Advisory Visit River Blithe, Hamstall Ridware, Staffordshire Sutton Coldfield Angling Society 2nd September, 2008 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Blithe, Staffordshire on 2nd September 2008. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Don Jones and Steve Russell of Sutton Coldfield Angling Society (SCAS). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Overview The River Blithe rises to near Blythe Bridge near Stoke-on-Trent and flows in a south-easterly direction to join the River Trent at the hamlet of Nethertown. Near Abbots Bromley, the river flows into Blithfield reservoir (www.blithfieldeducationcentre.co.uk/reservoir.htm) operated by South Staffordshire Water. The reservoir was constructed in the early 1950s by the building of an impounding dam across the river. Flows in the Blithe downstream of the reservoir (where the SCAS water is located) rely on the release of compensation water from the reservoir at the rate of 23 Ml/d (0.27 m3 per second). SCAS have approximately 170 members, although most fish the club’s other waters leaving the Blithe very lightly fished; there are estimated to be only half a dozen trout fly fishermen in the club. SCAS operates the fishery as a mixed coarse and trout fishery, and allows any legal method of fishing that complies with Environment Agency bylaws.
