Spout
Lane - Benthall
Named after the mine spout this tree lined lane runs to Broadacres Farm. A
few modern houses hide behind the trees but is essentially a rural
lane. Just of Spout lane is Workhouse coppice and the remains of
Benthall Workhouse which is now a dwelling
Mine Spout is a continuously flowing spring, of what is
reputed to be pure water, which emits from an iron pipe.
The Baliff House is dated 1672 and was possibly a hunting
lodge. Later it became Benthall Workhouse before being converted into a
private dwelling.
