Dist:0.4km<br/>A County Primary school catering for the 5 to 11 year-olds from the village of Dosthill. The school was founded in 1887 under the Kingsbury school board. Dosthill was at that time in Warwickshire, but boundary changes placed Dosthill within the borough of Tamworth and so it was moved into Staffordshire. My father, P.D.H.Farrow, was headmaster of this school from 1965 until his retirement in 1979.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Dosthill Lodge was demolished something like 25 years ago (i.e. early 80s) and replaced with several modern houses. This track runs between its former grounds and the car park which serves [[[1080365]]] next to [[[1073400]]]. It comes to an abrupt halt near to [[[1075830]]]. From the OS maps it looks as though this is not a Right of Way - the public footpath shown on the maps runs parallel with this track immediately to the south - and there is a sturdy gate across the entrance to it.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This ancient moat is now nothing more than a pond - and in this particular shot, a frozen one. The photo was taken from the corner of a path past [[[1080365]]]. The moat used to be in the garden of an old house, Dosthill Lodge, known to us as children as "Basfords" after the two old ladies, the Basford Sisters, who lived there. The house, along with a wonderful 1/4-circle curved brick wall is now long gone - but this little bit of moat, which probably predates even that house, survives.

Dist:0.7km<br/>I guess from the sign on the right here, that the people who run [[[1080365]]] as a dive centre have had a bit of a problem with drivers (or should I say parkers) ignoring the sign on the left.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This little Norman Chapel, sometimes referred to as a "Wayfarers' Chapel" is in the grounds of [[[1073400]]], though predating the latter by about 700 years. My mother's father repointed this little chapel in the early/mid C20th and there have been numerous repairs to it since.
