Date:1995

Description:Housekeeper, Mrs T. Ward in the dining room of the New Hough.

On the ground floor in addition to the dining room was an entrance hall, drawing room, morning room, cloak room and a large kitchen with a staff sitting room and food stores.

On the first floor was a galleried landing and originally four double and two single bedrooms. The two single rooms were later made into one large double bedroom.

On the top floor (in the roof) was an apartment for the Housekeeper.

Due to redevelopment of the Alstom Lichfield Road Site, the New Hough closed and the contents were sold by Auction on Saturday 20 July 2002.

During the redevelopment the New Hough was stripped of the wood panelling in the hall, stairs and landing and the staircase removed. All the ground floor rooms were knocked into one large area. The New Hough opened November 2007 as a Frankie and Benny’s New York American Diner/Restaurant.
