Save Ford Green Hall
Recent news headlines tell us that yet another part of our heritage is up for sale!
Ford Green Hall is a fine example of 17th Century architecture and has been a local authority museum for over 50 years.
Ford Green Hall is the oldest house in Stoke-on-Trent built in 1624 and is an important part of the city's heritage. A timber-framed farmhouse, it has survived a lot including being six foot underwater after a flood in the 1980s. A popular visitor attraction and venue for educational visits and weddings, Ford Green Hall is visited by 11,500 people a year.
Local residents have set up a website that has an online petition and includes links to the Halls history and the Press release announcing it's closure.
"SUPPORT FORD GREEN HALL" the website can be accessed by using the link below …

Paranormal in Staffordshire
Sirs, I would welcome the opportunity to appeal for ghost stories via your website.
Following on from my previous published works, I have been commissioned to produce a book on the ghostly tales of Staffordshire. With ghost books it is important to get the right mix of the traditional tale, the updated story, and the brand new in order to satisfy as many readers as possible. I have plenty of the traditional, but would be grateful for any information, leads, or pointers to personal experiences you could offer. Of course if you desire anonymity that would be guaranteed.
Any information or stories can be sent to
email: paranormalstaffordshire@hotmail.com
