We popped in for a drink at the delightful bar lounge of Lyttelton arms, near Hagley, with its wonderful design that bursts with appeal, its so elegant and colourful, with a pleasant moody scheme of golds, berry colours and torquoise that blend in so well with the greens and blues. The wine coloured bar stools with its marbled topped table all add to this delightful and very pleasant relaxing lounge. The company responsible for this exciting refurbishment programme, have incorporated the theme in many other pubs and inns that belong to the group “Premium country pub collections” have allowed us to enjoy fine food and drinks in very comfortable surroundings, with well trained staff to support us. The British Institute of Interior Design, was founded in 1965, with the purpose to set the highest standards of practice, and their efforts have certainly proved successful. Other places belonging to this group, include our REVIEWS for you of “The Boot inn, Studley, The Kings Arms, Lapworth, The Victoria Barnt Green, The Barnt Green Inn, The Green house, Sutton Coldfield, and the White Swan, Harborne, all in the West Midlands area. You may find this bit of history interesting. The jazz musician Humphrey Littleton was born 23rd May 1921 at Eton college, Buckinghamshire. he attended Sunningdale Preparatory school before attending Eaton college. Here, he “fagged” for Lord Carrington, who became the defence secretary 1970-1974, the foreign secretary 1979-1922. Fagging was a tradition at public schools in which the younger pupils acted as personal servants to the older boys. Each school had its own traditions, but mainly the younger boys did humble tasks, such as polishing boots, brushing cloths, sometimes cooking breakfast, and running errands. Humphrey loved Jazz music, and formed his own band of eight pieces, then in 1956 he had a huge hit with “Bad penny blues” I wonder if His family were concerned, that after all that expense involved with his training and education, that he choose to blow his own trumpet. Littleton died following a surgery on 25th April 2008.
