The Angel Inn
The Angel Inn
The Angel An examination of photographs taken of the Angel in recent years will reveal some changes, the most notable being in 2013/4 when the inn was bought and thoroughly refurbished following several years of slow decline. The upgrade has resulted in high quality accommodation and upgraded facilities both inside and out, plus a notable increase in trade.

Topcliffe, Catton Lane The old mill buildings are on the south side of Catton Lane, and now converted to residential flats. On the front facia, a north-east facing wall is a clear benchmark at ground level. It is cut into the top stone of a what seems to be an archway, and possibly a cellar.

Topcliffe, Methodist church The Methodist church is on the east side of Church Street. The parish church is directly opposite the Methodist church. On the far left of the west facing wall is a damaged benchmark. On the 4th row of bricks at the extreme left of the building, is a cut mark, which is very clear together with the top part of the arrowhead. The lower bricks have been removed and so part of the benchmark is missing.
