    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS WEDNESBURY (Inc. Kings Hill, Mesty Croft) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

Projects Identified as Important to the Parish, to be Pursued by the Parish Council, Through Various Funding Sources Including Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 53 2 1 Background to the Plan 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 promoted neighbourhood engagement in the planning process. It introduced a new kind of Plan, called a Neighbourhood Development Plan (or Neighbourhood Plan, for short), that could be prepared by Parish Councils. One of the key aims of the legislation is to enable people to contribute to the long term development of their own community. A Neighbourhood Plan can make a real difference to how development is carried out in the Parish, because once it has been through all the stages of preparation and been “made” (adopted) by Lichfield District Council (LDC), it becomes part of the District’s Development Plan, alongside the LDC Local Plan. Its planning policies will therefore be used in the decision-making process when planning applications within the Parish are considered by the Local Planning Authority. This Neighbourhood Plan supports the delivery of strategic policies contained in the Lichfield District Local Plan in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 para 13.

    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.

    FACILITIES GENERAL INFORMATION WATER POINTS he Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) is a 100 mile network of narrow Sherborne Wharf (Birmingham) [0121 456 6163] T canals situated at the very heart of the Midlands waterway system. There is, Farmers Bridge Top Lock (Birmingham & Fazeley) Holliday Wharf (just south of Gas Street Basin) arguably, no other inland waterways complex in the world which provides such Tividale Aqueduct (Netherton Tunnel Branch) vivid, sometimes breathtaking, contrasts. It would be difficult to imagine a canal Tividale Aqueduct (Old Main Line) landscape containing more features of interest to such a wide variety of users. Wolverhampton Top Lock Wolverhampton Lock No.15 BW Sneyd Yard (Wyrley & Essington) Unfortunately, the BCN harbours a serious burden – its image. To the uninitiated the Anglesey Bridge Marina (Anglesey Branch) [01543 454994] Longwood Junction (by Boat Club) BCN is still perceived as grimy and unpleasant, but this is simply not true. Perry Barr Top Lock Admittedly, some parts do pass through industrialised areas – but remember – that is Walsall Top Lock the reason they were built in the first place! There are many others which remain Parkhead Junction (next to pump house) Aldridge Marina (Daw End Branch) [01922 53397] amazingly rural and completely unspoilt. Nowhere is this more apparent than the Hawne Basin (Dudley No.2) delightful areas of the Northern BCN, providing many miles of tranquil, trouble-free Malthouse Stables, Tipton (Old Main Line) cruising. Cuckoo Wharf (Aston Locks) Canal Transport Services (Cannock Extension) [01543 374370] Grove Colliery Basin (Cannock Extension) Fortunately British Waterways, in conjunction with local canal societies and Black Country Museum Coronation Gardens, Tipton (Old Main Line) councils, has done much in recent years to enhance the waterside, to improve NEW – Windmill End (Dudley No.2) [next to new visitor centre].
