This picture links off to the left with the 'Samuel Fox' and 'Corus' pictures. The piece of road between 'The Lunchbox' and the 'Bollards' is actually a bridge over the original course of the Little Don (or Porter) River. This bridge was on some land owned by a John Stocks so it became known as Stocks Bridge ... so now you know!*** The 'Lunchbox' House and the Prospect Cottages Terrace behind are both shown on the 1903 Stocksbridge Map and will have seen many changes over the years. Image Image *** Update in January 2014 There is now a doubt as to the truth of this information … with a current thought being that it is more to do with the site of some Monastic Buildings I'll try to verify this in due course
