Thank you sistersue! I'll see what I can do next Saturday. Stay tuned! Best wishes Graham.

...and a few more :smug:

Although I'm an atheist I'm a sucker for Church architecture. I put it down to reading too many John Betjeman books. I was visiting Erdington for a bit of shopping earlier today when I noticed that the rebuild / restoration of St. Barnabas Church had now been completed (sorry but local news...

So you were the curious one! :topsy_turvy: Pleased to have met you! G :)

Thank for those Dave. Fantastic! :star: Here are mine: https://s1129.photobucket.com/albums/m517/Ghigh84/Castle%20Bromwich%20Hall%20-%2018th%20December%202010/?albumview=slideshow Best wishes Graham :)

Thanks for posting Dave. I also went on this visit, and I've got some pictures lying around on a CD somewhere: I'll see if I can dig them up. I can't remember my pics being anything like as good as yours though. Cheers Graham :)

The Hall was bought by property developers Linda and Neil Chen. Other than that I know very little about them. They set up the restoration of the Hall in close liaison with the National Trust and have spent an absolute packet bringing the place up to spec. If anyone saw the state of the Hall...

If you are in the mood for some more pictures, here is a slideshow of Castle Bromwich Hall Garden's apple day on 2nd October. A lot of fun in a record-breaking sunny weekend.. https://s1129.photobucket.com/albums/m517/Ghigh84/Castle Bromwich Hall - Apple Day - 2 October...

I'm afraid not Dave, I was wearing a red coat. I'm also a pudgy chap, those folks look quite healthy. :sneakiness:

Cheers folks, glad you liked them. Wish I could have dubbed some music on though. I've just put an additional photo in that I accidentally missed in my upload (a beautiful fireplace). If you hit the link again you'll see it. So that's the third sorry. :playful: Dave M - My tour was around 1...

Here is a slideshow of pictures taken at the Hall from the guided tour event earlier today. Two apologies are required: Fistly, I haven't had time to caption the things yet; and second sorry if I fixated on the ceilings too much. They were rather breathtaking! Hope you enjoy Graham...

According to the latest on the Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens sites, the guided tour weekend has been shortened to this Saturday only. No idea why. www.twitter.com/cbhallgardens

Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens now has a blog:https://castlebromwichhallgardenstrust.blogspot.com/ and is also on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/#!/cbhallgardens) and Twitter (@cbhallgardens) for any up to date information. It's worth a look. :friendly_wink:

Ah well, you can always have meet up and have lunch at the Garden Trust's cafe. A little cheaper methinks, and the entertainment is second to none :devilish:
