DV Architects: Heritage Sector Project - The Picture House, Stafford
The Grade II listed building required repairs to the ceiling, plasterwork and its supporting structure and had become tired, dark and dated. The challenge to DV Architects was to carry out a full internal refurbishment to revive the pub and bring it back to life. The interior design specialists needed to work closely with the listed building officer and the cinema society throughout the project.
In keeping with its listed status, a number of original features of the cinema were sensitively restored during the refurbishment.

Haunted swan hotel and stafford castle
Haunting History of
The Swan Hotel & Stafford Castle , Stafford,Staffordshire, West Midlands of England
Stafford means 'ford' by a 'staithe' (landing place).
For centuries Stafford Castle has protected the town from invading hordes. Looming high on Stafford’s skyline this heritage site is now the scene of many events from battle re-enactments, music festivals and the open-air Stafford Festival Shakespeare.
There is the oft-told story of the ghostly blacksmith at the Castle. Although he has never been sighted,the sound of his hammer on anvil is said to echo through the woodland
The Swan Hotel
This 400-year-old hotel in the town centre (Greengate Street) has witnessed a lot of history pass through Stafford. Stories are rife about mysterious tunnels linking cellars with St Mary's Church and Stafford castle. Sounds like something out of a Dracula movie!...The church dates from the early 13th century, with 14th century transepts and 15th century clerestories and crossing tower.
Excavations in 1954 revealed the adjacent late Anglo-Saxon church of St Bertelin.Sometime around AD 1000 a stone chapel was built on the site of Bertelin's timber chapel.
The church was collegiate when recorded in the Domesday Book when there were 13 Prebendary Canons
It is said that a drowning pool for women charged with witchcraft once stood on this site. There is also a priest hole built at the time of the Jacobite Rebellion and when it was excavated bottles and bones were found.
Poltergeist activity is rife at the hotel and a number of ghostly goings-on have been reported, including locked doors opening and closing, lights being flicked on and off and personal belongings being moved around the hotel.
In the 1940s and 50s, the manager's family reported regular sightings of a female ghost. This so called White Lady was seen again in the 1970s in the manager's bedroom.
He woke up with a jolt one night to see the ghost standing beside his bed. She is still seen wandering the corridors. One live-in chef was so disturbed by her presence he quit his job. Is this the ghost of a jilted bride who supposedly hung herself in one of the rooms. She’s known as the White Lady and has been seen regularly by both staff and guests. One of the chefs at the hotel was said to be so disturbed by the White Lady’s presence that he left his job at the hotel.The Swan hotel is thought to have been built on the site of an old monastic college. The site used to be home to two houses, one of which was called The Swan. The houses were converted in the mid-18th century into an inn to accommodate the travellers who were travelling between the Black Country and Lancashire for the growing industrial trade. The hotel was used as a coaching inn in the 19th century and business was booming, but when the town’s railway was built in 1837 there was a dramatic decline in business for the inn. The hotel was bought by the Lewis Partnership in 2002, who also own the nearby Moat House in Acton Trussell. They restored the hotel to its former glory and it is now a stunning place to be.
Stafford Castle
During the 1960s the press of the day reported tales of a 'headless horseman' thundering across land at the castle. The resident caretakers of the site, apparently witnessed the spectacle.
On investigation this terrifying vision turned out to be nothing more frightening than some escaped cows going walkabout... so the castle's infamous ghost was well and truly busted! But there is a big difference between a thundering horse and a slow cow ? Rumours of a headless horseman thundering across the grounds of Stafford Castle have been reported on a number of occasions .
The early historian of Staffordshire Robert Plot cited the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (104) for evidence that Æthelflæd, the Saxon warrior-princess and ruler of the Mercians, built a castle at Stafford in the year 913, along with an adjacent burg (meaning a fortified town). However, the exact site of this first castle, probably made of wood, is now unknown.
Medieval Time read on video :)
Ralph de Stafford sealed a contract with a master mason in 1347, ordering a castle to be built on the castle mound.
The rectangular stone Keep originally had a tower in each corner, but was later adapted, with a fifth tower being added on in the middle of the North Wall (actually facing west). Some three years later, Ralph, who had been one of the King's leading commanders in the first phases of the Hundred Years' War, was created first Earl of Stafford, a signal honour.
In 1444 Humphrey Stafford was created Duke of Buckingham and the castle entered its heyday. By the early 17th century however the condition of the castle had deteriorated and during the English Civil War the Parliamentary Committee in Stafford ordered it to be demolished.
By the early 17th century, the castle's fortunes waned. During the early part of the Civil War it was defended by the Gallant Lady Isabel but was eventually abandoned and demolished.
