    Walsall Tour Notes 1993

    Walsall Tour Notes 1993 The West Midlands Group organised a walk that followed the Wyrley & Essington Canal from Walsall to Sneyd and used the newly re-opened passenger route from Bloxwich North to visit Churchbridge Railway interchange basin and the now demolished South Staffordshire Railway House near there, These notes reflect a time prior to the railway privatisation, when Regional Railways had charge of local services and Intercity operated the express trains in this region. Members from the East Midlands, West Midlands and North West groups attended. Lunch was arranged at the public house built beside the infilled locks at Sneyd. Tour leader ; Ray Shill. Index 2 – 18 Morning Walk 19 – 30 Afternoon Walk 31 – 34 Images of Walk Area 1 2 3 The walk begins at Walsall Station and the group assembles in the Saddler Centre. It is a modern brick and concrete structure, a product of 1970's architecture. Many will probably remember the old station, its wooden circular booking hall and frontage to Park Street. Some may even recall the transition, in 1978, when the old booking office was demolished to leave a gaping hole above the tracks below. In this period the station entrance was effected from Station Street across a temporary footbridge to an equally temporary booking office on the island platform. Then there was only one passenger service. Electric units, usually 304s, trundled from New Street to Walsall and back. Their diagram's might have involved exotic places such as Bletchley or Manchester, but for Walsall folk the train only went to Birmingham. If they wanted anywhere else it was simply change at Brummagen.

    07/1 MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL OF LONGDON HELD IN THE W. I. HALL, LONGDON, ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 9TH, 2007 Present: Cllr. R. C. Hemmingsley (Vice-Chairman, who, in the absence of the Chairman, chaired the meeting); Cllr. N. J. Bird; Cllr. B. J. Butler; Cllr. A. J. Juxon; Cllr. Mrs. M. G. Nichols; and Cllr. H. M. P. Reynolds. Also present were the Clerk; Cllr. N. J. Roberts, of Lichfield District Council; County Councillor F. W. Lewis, M. B. E.; and Mrs. Jane Russell, Village Correspondent of “The Village Mercury”. 1. APOLOGIES Cllr. The Rev. J. R. Andrews; Cllr. N. Stanfield; Cllr. M. A. W. Parsons; and Cllr. S. K. Welch. 2. PRESENTATION BY CLLR. ROBERTS Before opening the meeting, Cllr. Hemmingsley invited Cllr. Roberts to make a presentation on the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Phase Two Revision. Cllr. Roberts explained that the West Midlands Regional Assembly had just issued a document setting out spatial options for four planning areas – housing, employment, transport and waste. The main emphasis was on housing, for which a series of tables relating to housing distribution had been set out, together with three options – the first reflecting a continuum of previous figures, the second planning for a 25% increase and the third, the Government’s own preferred option, providing for a 50% increase. The adoption of the third of these options would result in an increase in the Lichfield area of 16,000 dwellings, which would be considerably larger than any other adjoining district except East Staffordshire and might even lead to development on the margins of the Green Belt.
