More about this scene

Sandbach's Square is the scene, each May, of an Elizabethan market held to commemorate the original market charter presented to the town in the 1500s. The Saxon crosses are just behind the Black Bear pub on the left, which has the date of 1634 just above the entrance. The structure on the right is the war memorial.
