Micklehills farm, Lichfield

[jo1962]

Hi all,
On the 1911 census my ancestors were living at the above farm. I can't find out whether this farm still exits and if so where it is.  Anybody familiar with Lichfield who can help?
Many thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,  Have you tried an internet search, there is what looks like a modern aerial photo of Mickle Hills (two words) Farm Lichfield on wikimapia.   Not sure if it's the original farm or a newer build.

Hi Jo, When you see the photo, click on the Map Type dropdown menu and select Google Hybrid, this will show you road names around it etc.

Hello,

I looked for Mickle Hills Lichfield in Google Maps, and apparently it is a Saddlery now. The aerial view shows that it is still in a rural area, but as Jool said, it is not distinct enough to tell whether it is the original farmhouse.

Jo,

There is still farm land around that site now, though I believe the buliding has been redeveloped from the original.

Is it the Litherland family you have the link to?

Thanks everyone.

Yes JPG my link is to James Litherland.

Cheers
Jo
