Just a quick note to point out that Highfield House, the cottage that formed Highfield House Farm, just off Pool Road off the A5 in Brownhills, has finally been demolished. Derelict for years, the site been subject to several planning applications to build a new house there, as documented recently by Brownhills Barry, and previously covered here.
Thanks to reader John for the tipoff: always welcome.
The house had no architectural value, and was an eyesore on the way to Chasewater – I think most of us will be glad to see it gone. I wish the new owners well in their project and look forward to seeing the results – we need a better gateway to Chasewater. If you’re reading this, please do drop me a line and tell me all about it.

I paid visit Sunday Afternoon after being alerted by reader John. 3:06pm, Sunday, 26th February 2012.
I hope in time, the surrounding fields will be managed properly again. 3:06pm, Sunday, 26th February 2012.
The site was very busy. It'll be interesting to see the new house develop. 3:08pm, Sunday, 26th February 2012.
