Fishing by Cicely Mill These meres were not in existence according to the 1940's OS map, and must have been artificially created in the interim. Bordering on Cicely Lane near Rostherne, they are a popular spot for anglers.

The old A556 The former carriageway of the A556 where it is cut by the M56 motorway. Careful examination of the surface suggests that this was one of the 3-lane stretches of road with a central, bi-directional overtaking lane. Much favoured in the 1950s for major roads, the central lane was also known as "the suicide lane" in the increased traffic of the late 1960s.
