Date:1930 - 1935 (c.)
Description:The Green, also known as The White House or The Council House. It is thought to date from the early 1730s. Until 1735 it was occupied by Sir Robert Fisher, and was the first house in Cannock to have its own water pump. During the early 1800s The Green became a ladies‘ boarding school. It changed hands several times until it was purchased by Cannock Urban District Council in 1927. The Council carried out several extensions and improvements, and the property was officially opened as The Council House on Monday 16 January 1928. In the 1980s The Green was acquired by the County Council as an extension and offices for Cannock Chase Technical College. In 2016 it was put up for sale by South Staffordshire College and has since been restored and converted into offices and apartments by local businessman Fred Pritchard.
