SUTTON COLDFIELD A green and pleasant suburb, just eight miles from the city center of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield is famed for its beautiful park and nature reserve. At 2,224 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country. A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), it provides habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife. The park also offers a range of sporting activities, including mountain biking, kayaking and sailing amongst others. Many charity runs are held in the park as well as the World Scout Jambouree.

The popular Sutton Park provides all the amenities you could require; there are many restaurants and bistros within the vicinity as well as doctors, dental surgeries and the hospital all within the immediate vicinity. There is also a new development at the nearby Meer Green, which is to include shopping facilities such as Waitrose and Marks and Spencers. The schooling in the area is fantastic with grammar and private schools within easy reach. For traveling further afield, the local Four Oaks and Sutton Coldfield railway stations provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Litchfield.

BIRMINGHAM Lying at the seat of England’s Industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City� is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library.

Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store and the brand new Grand Central shopping centre. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols.

World class transport links include the recently redeveloped New Street Station and Birmingham Internation Airport, which offers both domestic flights within the UK, and international flights to locations across the globe.

150 YEARS OF HISTORY

The purity of the air in Sutton Coldfield has often been noted.

Writing in 1621, Robert Burton referred to the quality of the air at Sutton, where he had attended Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, while Miss Bracken in her 1860 History of the Forest and Chase of Sutton Coldfield, wrote of the multitudes of day-trippers coming to Sutton from the industrial towns “for a few hours respiration of the Coldfield air. Long may it be worth the seeking.”

In 1862 the first railway line to Sutton was opened, and brought many more trippers to Sutton. Some of the businessmen who had promoted the railway saw what they took to be a good opportunity for investment – they speculated that Sutton would become a popular resort like Buxton or Leamington Spa, and wealthy visitors would need a grand hotel for their accommodation. Accordingly, the Sutton Royal Hotel Company was set up; the luxurious hotel in the Italian Gothic style opened in May 1865, two years later than the hoped-for 1863, which is the date still to be seen picked out in darker bricks on the side of the building.

Instead of the expected profit, the company was soon in financial difficulties, and liquidated in 1866. The hotel never flourished, although it remained in business until the 1890s Sutton had been growing apace, and the Corporation had been desperately short of space for its increased volume of work. The newly converted sanatorium was to serve for seventy years as the Council House of the Borough, the town hall and fire station were soon added, and King Edward Square laid out, as can be seen to this day.

The present Council offices in King Edward Square were originally built as “The Royal Hotel”. With the arrival of the railway in Sutton in 1862 a group of businessmen who had promoted the railway set up the Royal Hotel Company, speculating that Sutton would become a popular resort like Buxton or Leamington Spa, and needed a grand hotel to accommodate wealthy visitors.

Of the Directors, only Thomas Chavasse was from Sutton, the others, were financiers from Edgbaston and Handsworth. The luxurious hotel opened in May 1865, two years later than the hoped-for 1863, which is the date still to be seen picked out in darker bricks on the side of the building.

A newspaper report of the opening described the hotel, with its “domestic offices” in the basement; there was a spacious entrance hall on the ground floor, ladies and gents coffee rooms, a smoking room, a billiard room, a sitting room and a dining room, all “most handsomely fitted up”. On the first floor were a number of suites consisting of sitting room and bedroom, with a piano in each sitting room, as well as single rooms and bathrooms; there were more bedrooms on the second floor.

The tower housed an observatory giving commanding views.

The writer approved of the design, by the Birmingham architect Mr. E. Holmes, in an adaptation of the Early English style.

meeting “to arrange the consequences of the Great Swindle” and on January 24th it was agreed that the company would pay ten shillings in the pound to the creditors, being £13,000 in debt.

The Hotel was put up for sale by auction, and the Diary notes “28th March – Grand stir among the directors - £4,000 bid for what cost £21,000”.

It is a local landmark that is now being invested in by a real estate development company, Court Collaboration, to breathe life and luxury into this exquisite property.

The same newspaper included an advertisement placed by the manager, J. J. Short – board and lodging cost ten shillings per day, dinner from four shillings. “A TABLE D’HOTE is established to be served at half past five p.m., for the accommodation of parties leaving Birmingham by the 4.20 p.m. train who can return as late as 9.45 p.m. thus affording Gentlemen an opportunity of enjoying an excellent repast on terms and in style not hither to attempted in the Midland District”.

An inaugural dinner was held on the fourth of May, recorded

by Sarah Holbeche in her Diary “The Directors’ Dinner – a few favoured individuals invited”. Miss Holbeche was critical of the hotel project, believing it was far too costly and badly planned, and an interference in Sutton affairs by Birmingham men. She records in the diary entry for December 18 1864 that the company purchased Mr. Genders’ property on High Street with tea rooms at the back for £1400, “all to be pulled down”, and the following February she notes that a new road to the hotel is under construction on the site (now King Edward Square), remarking that the company had only lately realised that they had “no means of getting carriages to the door” “Heard the Bell at the Hotel, The Royal Hotel!!! May its clapper tell the tale I fear of failure, alas! I think for the shareholders.” Miss Holbeche noted on December 2nd 1865 “the anticipated failure of the Royal Hotel; it had a short run”. Soon news of the unpaid bills leaked out, a month later there was a
