Bantock House, Wolverhampton added to Historic Buildings in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 09/04/2025

Set within 48 acres of surrounding parkland the museum is named after Alderman Baldwin and Kitty Bantock, former residents of the house, which is now operated by the Wolverhampton City Council's Arts and Museums service.
Originally built in the 1730s as New Merridale Farm, the house was expanded and renovated by Thomas Herrick around the early 19th century, and renamed Merridale House. After changing tenants several times, it was purchased in 1864 by Thomas Bantock, a canal and railway agent. His son, Albert Baldwin Bantock, who served twice as Mayor of Wolverhampton and as High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1920, made further improvements to the estate following his father’s death in 1896. Upon Albert’s passing in 1938, without any heirs, he left the house and park to the Wolverhampton Corporation. The house was renamed in his honor in 1940 and is now a Grade II listed building.
The museum displays the lives of the Bantock family and other influential figures from the area. On the ground floor, exhibits focus on the Bantocks and their lifestyle, while the upper floor highlights the men and women who shaped Wolverhampton’s industries, featuring locally made enamels, steel jewelry, and japanned ware. The museum is notable for its departure from traditional "glass case" displays, opting instead for a more informal and creative presentation. Visitors are even encouraged to sit on the furniture.
The gardens surrounding the house were designed by Albert Baldwin Bantock and were restored in 1998 to reflect his original plans. These gardens offer visitors a glimpse into Baldwin's vision, featuring a sunken Dutch Garden, a rose garden, vibrant flower borders, and a woodland garden that is part of a nature trail around the park.
Bantock Park spans 48 acres and includes a children’s play area, an 18-hole golf course, a putting green, and football fields. Highland cattle, once bred by the Bantock family, are believed to have roamed the park until the 1930s. In their memory, local craftsman Neil Watt created a cow sculpture, which now stands at the front of the house.

The house has it's own free carpark and entry to the house and gardens is also free. There is a cafe on the premasis and toilet facilities. It is on the outskirts of Wolverhampton so plenty of other places to eat and drink.

Clarence Park Lido - Bury Model Boating Club, Bury (By AlbionDrones)

Clarence Park Lido, home of the Bury Model Boating Club, a welcoming group of folks who build, sail and race model boats - ranging from hyper-detailed scale models, through to a monthly Club 500 and Club 65 racing event!

The park is popular, but keeping the drone over the water and staying small in size means you can fly safely enough.

Free on-site car parking, and a clubhouse for members, with facilities...

Strathy Beach (By JoeC)

The beach at Strathy is breathtakingly beautiful and worth a visit whether you've got your drone or not. The rock formations at the east end of the beach are fascinating, and the beach itself is a stunner.

A new toilet block has been built at the car park. It even (when I was there) had hot water. Hopefully it all survives the NC500 campervanners and their waste cassettes.

The road up to the car park is a narrow single-track, but easily passable. Once you're parked there's a short walk down to the car park, but 'down' is very much the operative word. Be prepared to climb the dunes to get back to your car 😮‍💨

Stopham Bridge, Horsham (By Scaleber)

Historic England estimates that fewer than 200 medieval multi-arch bridges survive in England.

Thomas Walker Horsfield and James Dallaway—both 19th-century Sussex historians—along with other early authorities date the current bridge to 1309 but subsequent historians have suggested later dates. Edwin Jervoise, in his survey of historic bridges for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in the 1920s, suggested a 16th-century origin but believed the current structure was a replacement for a medieval one dating to 1347 and A. A. Evans, a Sussex historian writing in 1936, places it at 1423. Historic England postulates that the current structure was probably built from 1422 to 1423.

One arch was destroyed during the 17th-century English Civil War and replaced with a drawbridge, which was fenced off in 1650. The centre arch was raised in 1822 to allow larger boats to pass after the opening of the Wey and Arun Canal, which allowed onward connections north towards London.
The bridge carried the main route from Petworth and Fittleworth to Pulborough (the A283 road). It suffered damage from overloading by military convoys during the Second World War, exacerbated by heavy traffic later in the 20th century. Traffic lights were installed but it became increasingly common for vehicles to strike the bridge parapet at the curve. In 1986, a modern concrete bridge opened 100 feet to the north of the medieval bridge and the A283 was diverted. The medieval bridge was restored in 1991.

Safe and quiet to TOAL from the far end of the bridge from the pub.

John O'Groats, Caithness North East (By JoeC)

I can't pretend John O'Groats is much more than a tourist trap, but it is, at least, a famous one.

It used to be where the A9 ended (it goes to Scrabster now), and is synonymous with charity events from bike rides to wheelbarrow pushes that start in Lands End and travel the length of the mainland to John O'Groats.

There's a famous sign post (at least they've stopped charging people for photos with it now), a couple of nice coffee shops, and The First and Last - a hexagonal gift shop that's been selling tat to tourists since my age was in single digits!

There's a SSSI just off the shoreline, but it's for fish fossils on the seabed so not much of a bother for us.

St Nicholas Church, Wells next the Sea, North Norfolk (By Fuzzyjack)

A really lovely church with some fantastic woodwork on the inside of the roof.

Most of the local area is in the Holkham estate who do not give permission to TOAL from their land but Wells itself is mostly not owned by the estate. I did pop into the church and say hello to some lovely ladies and leave a small cash donation in the little box.
