View of Lichfield Cathedral from Stowe Pool

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stowe Pool is a reservoir located in the city of Lichfield, Staffordshire. Formerly a fishery (along with nearby Bishop's Pool and Minister Pool), Stowe Pool was turned into a reservoir in 1856 by the South Staffordshire Waterworks Co. Before 1856, Stowe Pool existed as a mill pond, with Stowe mill located just to the west of St Chad's Church. Since 1968 the reservoir has not been used for supply and is now a public amenity used for recreation purposes. Stowe Pool is a designated SSSI site as it is home to the native white-clawed crayfish.

Speakers' Corner, Lichfield

Highlight • Monument

Speakers Corner Lichfield was launched in May 2009, with the help of the Speakers’ Corner Trust. Hundreds of people joined in the celebrations which featured more than 30 speeches, musical and dance performances, as well as star appearances from BBC’s Joanne Malin and ex Coronation Street star, Chris Walker.

Today, Speakers’ Corner is a site for events and activities, as well as a destination for all the community to visit and have their say on topics close to their hearts.

Since the launch, a plaque has been unveiled at the site, along with a code of conduct. The whole area was given a facelift, including laying a new stone plaque to mark the spot of Speakers’ Corner, as part of the Lichfield Historic Parks project.
