Frank Clissold ," Peterbrook", Peterbrook Road

[Hayley C]

Good afternoon all, I'm new to this site and I have to say I'm excited to hopefully find some answers to fill in some blanks or to find some additional photo's of the following property. I'm the great grand daughter of Frank Clissold who resided at a large, impressive property called 'Peterbrook' which I believe was on Peterbrook Road. The property comprised of a gardeners lodge/cottage at the front entrance which had a drive that took you to the property, it also housed stables, a lake and would of been a statement property for those that lived in the area. The property suffered a fatal fire which I believe happened in the 1970's, although it could be the 50's. My family were able to salvage some furniture and photos of which I am lucky to have in my possession, however if anyone could shed any light on further information about this property including photo's I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance!

Hayley you might do well to enquire at Solihull archives as Peterbrook Road Shirley is actually outside the Birmingham boundary.

Did you ever find any information? If I’m correct I think you’re describing where I live now I’ve been trying to find out more history on it so would be great to learn more!

hi rob so am i correct in thinking you live on peterbrook road in a house that used to be called peterbrook house that suffered a fire in 1971? see post 2.. reason i ask is because you posted this on another thread and i was not too sure of the location of where you live


"Hi, I’m trying to find out the history of where I live, I live in Solihull lodge and my house backs on to berry mound i have a view of it from my house. I know berry mound is well known but I just wondered if anyone had anymore information on it as I’ve walked it for years and am just curious thanks in advance"
