Y Gelli Bridge, built of concrete, is a very modern introduction into the Welsh landscape.
On the right are the offices of the Hampshire Advertiser, and in the distance is the old Guildhall from where a curfew bell is rung every evening at 8.00.
Most of the dell is much more densely wooded today.
All the carvings depict medieval life, and the bell is attached to a yew tree in the churchyard.
This spot is popularly said to have been named after a local miller in the mid 19th century who used to urge his fat, mottled pony on with the entreaty: 'Git up, old treacle bolly (belly)'.
The Rothwell Industrial Co-operative Society on the right has become the Co-op supermarket, and the Blue Bell is now simply called The Pub.
On the right are the offices of the Hampshire Advertiser, and in the distance is the old Guildhall from where a curfew bell is rung every evening at 8.00.
George Bell is said to haunt the beer cellar.
This view, looking west from the green, has lost its two community facilities: The Bell is now a house, while the shop on the right is now a house called The Old Post Office.
On the right-hand side of the road, halfway down, is the old Guildhall, where the city's curfew bell is rung at 8pm each evening.
The single bell is housed in an 18th-century bellcote with an ornate Gothic spire - this has since been removed down to the tops of the windows.
A pub built next door - The Bell - is now derelict. The chimney in the background is at the electricity works. This area is also the 'bus station; there are two charabancs at the far end.
The tenor bell is inscribed 'Burscough Priory' and stamped with the dates 1497 and 1576.
To the west of the Old Bell is Mill Lane, leading to the abbey mill which was owned by the abbey.
The post office was once the Bell pub, and the sign, a solid wooden bell, is still in place under the porch.
It was frequently known as 'Tickle Belly Park' and its many and varied attractions included a lake with boats shaped like swans, an alpine railway and a shooting range.
