The Longe Arms Spixworth Located on the junction of Buxton Road and Crostwick Lane. It nearly closed at the end of 2010 when the lease was due to run out. Two villagers decided to take it over rather than see it close.

This is supposed to be a drain. Totally choked! It's no wonder all the roads locally have signs 'Liable to Flooding'.

Frettenham towermill Taken early one morning looking across the field to the back of the mill. An old grubbed out hedgeline can clearly be seen. The mill ceased working during the first quarter of the 1900s and became derelict. A new cap was fitted during the 1990s, which has done much to help its preservation.
