I am still chasing my great, great grandfather Thomas Stayt. I would like to know the exact location of Park Cottage where he and his family lived between about 1860 and 1900. It is (was) backing onto the Thorngrove estate near Grimley Worcestershire where he worked as a butler for a succession of owners. It was quite a big cottage with 6 bedrooms and about 2 acres of land. It does not show on Google maps but perhaps it is on a Victorian map of the time.

Try this site's OS map, which shows a Park Farm.

The cottage must be somewhere close?! ::)
As a butler, he would have been available at almost any time, so the cottage would have been close to the main house, I think.

Yes, I have seen Park Farm which is listed on the census, in particular 1871. On that census Park Cottage is listed between Sinton Court and Sinton Green so I think it must be on the Sinton Road somewhere.

Sinton Cottages exists on the other side of the road?
Maybe it's one of these?

Yes, possibly.
