Smallwood is not an ancient place.

But something lingers there.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, Clem Dallaway explores the history and hauntings of Smallwood, Redditch—built on former Ipsley land during the rise of the needle industry.

From the Victorian Almshouses on Mount Street to chilling modern encounters, this episode uncovers real eyewitness accounts of unexplained activity, including:

Voices and figures inside the Almshouses

The terrifying Glover Street incident

Strange footsteps, shadows, and unexplained phenomena across the area

Told in a calm, immersive audiobook style—perfect for late-night listening or sleep.
