Part of the narrow section on this busy road, made worse at the moment by road works.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Sadly, another pub has closed down. It might well have been here since the turnpike road was built c.1825.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Built between the library and the 'Bull and Dog', at a time when councils could afford to provided public services, and now looking miserable, awaiting its fate.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A house of the early 17C, with later alterations. It is dated 1606 in the apex of the gable of the west wing. The street name-plate on the wall suggests that it was divided into multiple occupation by the late 19C. The building work is perhaps a barn conversion.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from the top of Stainland Rec looking towards the playground, with the tennis courts and the pavilion in the background. The path leads eastwards to the car park and westwards to Fall Spring Gardens.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This building was built by the Shaw family for the 'well being of the community'. The Shaw family owned the mills in Holywell Green; the family built most of the houses in Holywell Green, along with the park that is there. The date is '83, presumably short for 1883.
