Go out and have a look at what’s around you. Then when you’ve done that, go back and have another look!
My name’s Kate Gomez and I moved to Lichfield around 9 years ago. I’m fascinated by what’s around me. I’m not a historian, just a curious soul who can’t pass by an interesting building or leave a good story untold. I want you to comment, correct, ask, add, argue, discuss & divulge - I’d really like this site to be as interactive as possible.
I’m on twitter (follow @LichfieldLore ) and Facebook or you can get in touch via email at lichfieldlore-blog@yahoo.co.uk. Or leave me a comment here on the blog!
I also write local history articles for the Lichfield Gazette, which you can access online here
Look forward to hearing from you!
Hi there
You may remember chatting with me yesterday. Thought I would pop along and take a look at your website. I must say youre doing a fantasitc job. Keep up the good work Kate.
Found you! I was wondering where you were… I’ve updated the link on my blog, too
Thanks for coming over to have a look and for the comments
Hi Kate, I’ve just found your website from Lichfield Live: well done, it’s a mine of information; the ‘hole in the wall’ on Shaw Lane is something to do with the fresh water supply laid on to the city from Pipe Hill by the Conduit Lands Trust, there is a rather more elaborate water outlet in the Cathedral Close.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Mark. I started the blog as somewhere to record all of the things I read & discovered about Lichfield. I always hoped that people would find something of interest and that they would join in. Thnaks so much for your contribution and for solving the mystery of Shaw Lane!
Regards,
Kate

Hi,
I have been reading some of your posts about Lichfield history. Really interesting insights into the local area. I moved to Lichfield in May 2011 and have been fascinated by the city and its history (and future) ever since. It’s good to find a resource which can further my knowledge and understanding. Thank you.
Andy
Thanks for your comments Andy. It’s good to hear from you. Please do get involved with the discussions if you know anything (or even if you don’t!)
Best wishes,
Kate
Hello.
What a lovely website. I also moved to Lichfield fairly recently and love it for the history and stories that surround the place – as well as being beautiful and full of nice people!
I particularly find the talk of the tunnels fascinating and have a torch ready to head out if ever the opportunity arises!
Keep up the good work.
Steve
Hello Steve! Thanks for the lovely comment. Glad you find it of interest! The tunnels are fascinating & I was amazed to hear that there might be more to them that just rumours – did you see the latest comment about Whitehall?
Cheers!
Kate
