Just to the right was a farm run by Mr Chaffey, he had working for him Mr Bert R*** who was a very large gentleman, probably over 20 stones, anyway in the bad winter of 1947 Bert slipped down on the ice outside the butchers shop opposite the cross, several locals tried with no result to get Bert back on his feet till one said "Yer, let's roll he over to the monument". This was done, result Bert back on his feet and back to work!!!
