Dist:0.5km north<br/>Two stone pillars stand at the road junction known as Darnhall Knobs (Darnhall School Lane, Moors Lane, Hall Lane). A local web site describes the location... "In 1897 to mark the celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, one of the stone columns, which fell down 70 years previous, was re-erected at the Knobs. The bricks that were used, were taken from a cottage which was built two or three hundred years ago. This column was erected parallel to a similar one of very ancient date. In the base of the pillar, were placed newspapers giving an account of the opening of the Verdin Technical School, Northwich, by her grace the Duchess of Westminster." http://www.darnhall.org.uk/History.htm

Dist:0.7km south<br/>The road (marked on the Explorer series) stretches from the farm buildings to the end of the farmers land in the neighbouring square [[SJ6363]]. The footpath across the field no longer takes the path shown on the map, due to the placement of an electric fence, so the footpath continues at a stile near the tree to the right of the road in the distance.

Dist:1.1km northwest<br/>Local authority housing built to accommodate those displaced by Liverpool's slum clearance programme in the 1960s/70s. This estate received government Estate Action Programme resources in the late 1980s in an attempt to reverse physical and social decline. Brick walls with railings provided what was known then as "defensible space" and add-on porches helped to increase the feeling of security.
