Above the name both sides of the sign are identical in recognising Goose Green and an ancient tradition that allowed three geese and a gander to be tethered on the green. Included in the picture is a gold torc, discovered in a grave pit in the 19th century and some bronze age pottery. The church of St Nicholas, the Primitive Methodist chapel (now a private residence) and the school are collectively recorded on one side, and on the other, the village pond, a steam engine and the village water pump which was on the green. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6803744 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6803739
