Sandbach Crosses
Two 9th century stone crosses, decorated on all faces with carved figures, animals and vine scrolls.
The taller cross shows biblical scenes and has a mutiliated head. The shorter cross has a truncated shaft with the mutilated head of another cross.
They were taken from their original site and broken up. The fragments were eventually restored to their present site in 1816.
The style and themes of the sculpture indicate contact with the wider Anglo-Saxon world, suggesting Sandbach was a significant centre of pre-Viking sculpture in the 9th century.

Sewer across the Dingle Brook
Shown just as 'pipeline' on large scale maps, this is undoubtedly a sewer, as there used to be a sewage works just south of this location, marked on the 1930s map but already shown as disused by the 1960s. The pipe now runs through the embankment of the A534 Wheelock Bypass, presumably to a pumping station somewhere the other side.
