Does anyone live in or know Ullenhall?

[annie1mod]

Hi, I'm after any information about a Barrells Hall Lodge in Ullenhall. My mum was born there in 1949,  and  then given up adoption, does anyone know of her birth parents, ***. I have tried looking for the address on the internet, all I keep getting back is the name Daniel Lodge Developments on Ullenhall Road, is this the same place?

Any help with this huge jigsaw would be much appreciated,
thanks Annette.

I just googled "Barrels Hall" and came up with a modest number of hits. Try dropping the "Lodge" bit.

Thanks Pauline
Have tried all that, I know there was or is a Barrells hall estate, dont know if the lodge was a caretakers cottage or something?

Thanks again, Annette.

Try looking at older maps of the area.
Lodges are usually found at the gates to an estate.

Hi again, would you happen to know any old map websites or would I have to visit a library or office?

Thanks Richard,
there seems to be a lot of mentioning about the hall but nothing about the lodge!

Annette,

The Hall would have been an impressive country residence lived in by someone wealthy. The lodge was likely to have been a house/ cottage in the grounds probably lived in by staff.

Have a look at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/

Type in Ullenhall as search  but click the 'address' button not the 'place' button. This will bring up the post codes etc. Click on the top one - B95. This brings up another list of post codes - the post code you require is the 3rd one down listed as B95 5NQ Barrells Park (The Lodge)

Here is also a site for Warks old maps (lots of them)
