More about this scene
This is perhaps the largest village green in Lancashire, although the duck pond seems to be diminishing. Cottages, the Grapes Inn, the church and the school are facing or clustered round the green. An old resident, Mrs Lancaster, had a fund of memories. She was a Rose Queen one Club Day. She recalled Pudding Pie Nook, thatched cottages knocked down and replaced by bungalows. In 1910 Mr Tod Hull was the oldest resident. Lovers' Lane was glorious with bluebells and wood anemones in spring.
