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?

Covid-19 sign, Old Mill Road, Sandbach
This message would have meant nothing before late 2021, but the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus was spreading rapidly through England by December. The solar-powered sign encouraged people to get a third dose of vaccine (colloquially a 'booster jab').
The road is named after a former silk mill at its southern end, no trace of which now remains.
