More about this scene
Castle Road leads to the Square. The chimney stack in the distance is that of Cookley Iron Works. The Red Lion public house (right) opened after 1830, along with the Eagle and Spur Inn. John Rowley ran the Bird in Hand in about 1860, but he changed its name to the Red Lion, perhaps because Lion Field is adjacent. The most important landowner in Cookley in 1650 was Sir Edward Sebright, who had a large estate with valuable sporting rights.
