Sketch we think done By G Dolby Would love to know more about this. |
||
Got its name from the old stone monument
that does not look much like a cross and still stands today. |
All the buildings in this picture still
stand today. The butchers shop on the right was later Fred's cafe &
now an indian take away. The only thing that's gone is the old pump |
The Anchor Inn still open to this day
with the same name. Note the roads little more than sludge tracks |
Several years later the old village
pump & some buildings demolished. |
Another view of the cross. To the left
a shop that was a chemist for about a hundred years. |
|
Looking up Church Lane some years ago on the left
side you can see a horse and cart. |
Church Lane looking towards the cross from outside
the Coach & Horses pub.You can just see a bit of the esso sign on
what is now the cross garage.Dont know who the baby is but it would
not be a good place to leave one these days |
Close to the picture above it but a much older view
before the miners welfare was built. |
