Modern housing on the Lickhill Estate. Many of the properties here are of the type on the right, with sharply sloping roofs, and consequently some of the bedrooms have sloping ceilings. In the foreground is part of Lower Lickhill Road. Image

This is a new photo of the Stagborough Arms, taken in August 2011. The pub has had permission to install its own micro brewery, which seems to be a first for Stourport. The brewery's products will be sold as Osspice Ales. The pub has also changed its sign. For more details about the pub see:- Image The new sign:- Image

The Stagborough Arms dates from the second half of the 20th century, and was built as an estate pub for the adjacent Lickhill Estate. It is the only pub at this end of Stourport. To survive in these difficult times for pubs, it's advisable to offer something extra as well as good beer. The Stagborough Arms does this by presenting lots of live music, and indeed claims to be "Stourport's premier live music venue". It has also been singled out by the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale, as it offers several varieties of real beer to its customers. The pub also has its own website http://www.stagborougharms.co.uk/ Compared to many pubs, The Stagborough Arms is a relatively new one, but even so it is on at least its third name. The current name relates to Stagborough Hill from which this part of the town can be seen Image

There is a small car park off Lower Lickhill Road by the Community Centre. These signs have been placed near the entrance. The top sign shows the park's name as Memorial Park, which is how most people refer to it. But elsewhere it is referred to as the War Memorial Park, and sometimes as the War Memorial Gardens. The lower sign gives the Community Centre address as Lickhill Road, although it's actually in Lower Lickhill Road. Image;Image

The northern part of this park is on a small hill, which gives some good views. This photograph shows part of the gardens, and beyond Lower Lickhill Road, Ribbesford Drive and part of the Lickhill Estate.

Most of the recent snow had disappeared, but a very heavy overnight frost resulted in most of the trees and hedges here being turned white.

The Community Centre is located on the edge of the park. Image
