West Marton

Two interesting buildings on the A59, Gisburn Road at the West Marton crossroads. The larger building, nearest to the corner has the initials RFR and the date 1884 together with a sword carved on the stonework on the gable end (Image]). The other, smaller building has the same initials and the date 1889 on the lintel above the doorway. I'm not sure what their original purpose was, but the larger one *may* have been the village institute http://oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=360&t=9071 . The stone trough is dated 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee year.
