Two Lichfield Streets in Tamworth - Google Maps Goes Ga-Ga!

It’s come to our attention that there are two Lichfield Streets in Tamworth, a fact that seems to send Google Maps into a demented senile tailspin.

If you type the full address of the Moat House into Google Maps it ignores the post code and shows you the wrong location - two miles South of Vapefest!

In the map on the left the correct Lichfield Street at the top - the one at the bottom is the wrong’un.

This may be bad news for those who chose to stay at former Vapefest venue The Plough & Harrow in the mistaken belief that they could drunkenly stumble a few yards from the Moat House to their cosy cots.

To get Ga-ga-Maps to display the correct location you need to input the post code B79 7QQ alone. Hopefully your car’s SatNav will be a bit more savvy. On the plus side, those coming by rail will only have a ten minute walk from Tamworth Station rather than a full on 3 mile yomp for the folds of Fazeley…
