Dist:0.2km<br/>This pub by the A52 at Greenhead may have been taken over by a restaurant business "Parmesan and Pepper" based in Chorley, Lancashire.

Dist:0.3km<br/>On a muddy corner beside the A52 is a milepost. Milestones/posts are the original roadside heritage features with many dating back hundreds of years and these historic items are under threat from highway developments.

Dist:0.3km<br/>For a wider view [[1879492]] Milestones/posts did not come into general use until the Turnpike Act of 1766 made them compulsory on turnpike roads, these roads were built by private enterprise under licence from the Government and maintained by tolls on those who used them. Before this Act milestones were put up occasionally, often as charitable acts and commemorations. Many Turnpike Act stones still exist. They are usually 2-3 ft high, with the initial letter or abbreviation of the nearest market town show on two faces, and the distance from it.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Taken from near Bank Top, on the Dilhorne lane, this shows the lower lying ground shrouded in mist after a late Winter temperature inversion. Cheadle lies behind the small hill in the middle distance and Threapwood is on the skyline.

Dist:1.3km southwest<br/>Over Staffordshire countryside towards the southern end of the Pennines and Derbyshire. Dairy House Farm is to the left of centre.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>The casting on the top suggests it's in Consall parish, but Blakeley Lane is the nearest settlement on the map, so that's the name I'm inclined to use for it. Detail in [[1731692]].

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>It looks like this one's been clouted by passing traffic at some stage, as it's split more or less in twain down the middle.
