Dumping of waste

Why have Orbit decided to build only the 10 houses ear marked for 'rent' not shared ownership! Its appauling that this has been allowed to happen. Mark my words the rent will be so high villagers will not be able to afford to move it. The villagers in shared ownership are not going to want to move into them as they will be renting. I am soooo cross...... I said at the meeting this would happen and it has. Also why has the application for moving the waste form the site NOT been approvel by Stratford DC, but still the housing company think its 'fine' to dump all the sub soil and top soil from the building site of the 10 houses in the field opposite. I have just contacted the environmental agency to complain, please feel free to do the same. Once again our village will be getting bigger boundaries and less village folk benefitting. Let alone that field being dumped with excess soil to fill in the pits and dips, where is all that water going to go........... the field has a natural lar... read more

Is this information correct? That Snitterfield Village Council have decided that we are in need of an additional 35 houses in the village? All to be built at the far end of Snitterfield (Bearley road) where the 10 new ones are already in progress!!!!! Come on this cant be right! Can anyone name 45 families within the village that need new homes? I dont think so. I bet that the 10 already being built dont all go to villagers, just so Orbit have the opportunity to build more from the public outcry. I am so dissappointment if this information is correct. If it is to happen why arent the roads near the A46 being used? Why has this road (Bearley road) being ear marked. Is this because it doesnt affect anyone on the parish councils homes or views? Why not fill in the gaps within the village all those lovely green fields in the middle. Please someone tell me this isnt true....

It has been said that my house in Welford-on-Avon was built with Snitterfield bricks, distinctive because of a raised line across many of them.

Does anyone know of a brickworks at Snitterfield and the dates it operated?

Has anyone noticed an increase in rats lately. 5 people have mentioned to me in
the past couple of weeks they have seen our not so furry friends. Let me know if
you have also. I might get in touch with the council and see if they can help
without individual households incurring costs.

Why is it that some dog owners feel that they can leave their dogs poo on the pavement
for others to walk through, do they not notice that it has happened, do they have no
respect for their surroundings!!!

Tracing Bolton family tree
Posted by Will Bolton
Last Reply September 20, 2012 at 10:12
Started September 8, 2007 at 01:35
Hi all, I've been doing some investigation into my family's history and I found out from the 1901 census that my great, great grandfather was born in Snitterfield in around 1833. His name was William H Bolton. He married a woman called Harriet - also from Snitterfield and also born in approximately 1833. I don't know her family name.

By 1901 he had moved to Droitwich in Worcestershire and was listed as being a Dairyman and Farrier.

If anyone has any information about the Bolton family in Snitterfield I'd be much obliged if you could get in touch with me at willbolton |at| gmail.com

Many thanks.

Snitterfield in 1954

I lived at Hatton Bank Farm in 1954, when my father Harry Rose was foreman for the owner Clyde Higgs who owned several farms in the area, including Black Hill and Hatton Rock, and supplied milk to most of Stratford and surrounding area. He was extremely wealthy and visited his farms in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce. I went to school in Snitterfield, and am writing a book about my father. I visited Hatton Bank Farm a few years ago and was dismayed o find that the beautiful Queen Anne farmhouse with six bedrooms, cellars, a music room and an acre of gardens had been demolished and some kind of hideous modern barn put in it's place. I have a fund of hilarious (and sad) stories about the farm, our time in Warwickshire forms just one chapter of the book. I wondered if you have a historical society in the village, and if what I have written could be of interest to them. Does any one, aged 65 or over, remember Hatton Bank Farm, the Rose family, Carol Rose, Clyde Higgs, or might my name ap... read more
