Tettenhall Towers in Wolverhampton is a brand new location for simply ghost nights. Tettenhall Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteeth century and was built by Thomas Pearson is 1771. In 1851 it was bought by Colonel Thomas Thorneycroft who was a very eccentric man and has been spotted many times at the Towers, unhappy that there are people in his home, Its documented that scared builders have fled the property and not returned because of what they've seen or heard!!
The Thorneycrofts, Colonel Thorneycroft bought and sold property on a grand scale but preferred Tettenhall Towers to the rest. Colonel Thorneycroft was also an eccentric of the highest order, he was known for pushing his butlers off the top of the towers to test various flying machines of his own creation.
G B Thorneycroft, the colonel's father, was the company founder who also became Wolverhampton's first mayor in 1848. But it was his son, the buyer of Tettenhall Towers, who became arguably one of the village's most eccentrically famous residents.
The Colonel was variously described as a man whose fertile imagination, individual point of view, broad and ready wit and energetic language meant that he would not readily be forgotten.
