The stub of Middlewich Road, Sandbach
Since construction of the inner relief road in 1986, this section of road is a dead-end for motor traffic but a through road for cyclists. The recent provision of bollards to segregate the cycle lane seems a bit unnecessary given the low volume and speed of traffic.

The Wheatsheaf in Sandbach (detail)
The Wheatsheaf is a traditional inn in the centre of this market town, built in 1890 but not yet listed. Above the main entrance is a stone tablet with the initials HH, a coat of arms including three frogs or toads, and the motto 'et dieu mon appuy'. This is probably the arms of the Hungerford family, one of several to use the motto but also including 'Three toads erect'. See Image for context.
