‘Netty’s'
Church Street
This building was for many years
the beer off. At one time, while tenanted by the Crossland’s, the
upstairs was a regular meeting place for the spiritualist faith before the
present day Spiritualist church was opened in 1956. The middle building,
which on this photograph is an extension to the shop, was, in the 1960s a
printers shop run by Mr Jubb. Bob Grainger one time manager at the Three
Horse Shoes owns the properties, which have now converted back into two
houses (February 2006). Dorothy Whitehead who was the lollipop lady at the
local school for over 30 years owns the end house
