More about this scene

By catching a bus from Poulton to Great Eccleston it was possible to walk to Dishdolls Café in Out Rawcliffe. No longer an eating place, it was well patronised in its day, and well situated in pleasant country near the River Wyre; it was not far from Meadowcroft, the home of Miss Poole, who opens her garden annually for charity. Rawcliffe Hall was nearby, the home of the outrageous Squire Rawcliffe who burned down a windmill one bonfire night.
