Roman Cross and Millennium Green
Image: © John Lomas Taken: 9 Aug 2005
An Old and New juxtaposition. Just a small hamlet but on the line of a Roman road from Manchester to Ribchester. The cross, believed to be Roman in origin, is thought to mark the halfway point. The road was later used as a packhorse route hence the name of the nearby hostelry "Pack Horse"
