Footpath off Houndings Lane
The footpath is shown on old maps preceding the present housing estate, and the path retains its public right of way status (Sandbach FP38), but now just connects to Laurel Close, one of the side streets on the estate.

Sandbach Cemetery: Don't Panic
Most gravestones are blank on the reverse, but this one has two words. Given that the front includes a dolphin and the words "so long and thanks for all the fish", I deduce that the deceased was a fan of Douglas Adams. Was he buried with a towel, I wonder?
