Corner of Red Lion, Newbrough
The large broken boulder on the front right corner of the Red Lion Image was the focus for my photo on a wet winter afternoon. There is a story that this is the current resting place of one of the four stones said to have given the neighbouring community of Fourstones its name.
A discussion of Fourstones and the history and mythology attached to the stones that gave it its name is given here: http://heddonhistory.weebly.com/blog/fairy-tale

Erected by the Pelican Band of Mercy
... 5 January 1889. Inscription on the stone behind the Image
I am very grateful to Dave Clark for the following info:
The beginnings of The Band of Mercy are documented in "History in Portsmouth" in an article entitled 'REV. THOMAS TIMMINS (1841–1898) - FOUNDER OF THE BAND OF MERCY' http://www.history.inportsmouth.co.uk/people/timmins.htm .
Dave is not sure about the "Pelican" annotation.
Apparently the Band of Mercy was the forerunner of Animal Liberation Front (ALF). A part of their history that the RSPCA will not be proud is at http://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/policy/animal-rights-extremism/the-early-history-of-animal-rights-extremism/ .

Newbrough Women's Institute
Newbrough WI was founded in 1923 by over 100 ladies from Newbrough, Fourstones and the surrounding area. They originally met in the Town Hall until 1945 when they were given WI House, previously the Mechanics Institute (founded in 1848 and building erected in 1854). The WI donated the building to the Town Hall Image in 2000 as part of the millennium project.
