The green, Timbersbrook Just a small triangle in the crossroads, but large enough to accommodate a seat, a fingerpost, telephone kiosk and postbox. The fingerpost is a traditional Cheshire County Council cast iron design, but the shield carries the letters BDC rather than the normal CCC. This almost certainly represents Buglawton (Urban) District Council. The K6 telephone kiosk has like many others been converted into a book exchange.
