sprigfield house

Hi

Originally Springfield Hall. Now Springfield House.
It is an Education Centre now. A friend of Brendas
taught there some years ago.
I think it was for special needs children.
Have attatched an yearly post card.

Hi

Well crawled around Ancestory for hours Phew.
Located residents from 1861 to 1901.
A bit disapppointing in a way no treasures
unearthed on this search.
Had difficulty locating Springfield Hall in
the 1841 and 1851 census.
Original references to Fishers in the 18th Century
See what turns up.
Have attached working sheet.

Knowle Hall

Hi

On Friday I noticed the sale notice of Knowle Hall.
Never noticed this place its up from the road just
past knowle Locks.
Decided to do a brief History of the site showing its past
and the folks who have come and gone.
