Gorstyhill The pub, the Broughton Arms, has a Cheshire address and was in Cheshire until 1965, when the boundary was moved to make Gorstyhill and Balterley Heath into a single community. I was standing on the current boundary to take the photo. The road to the left, the B5500, used to be the A52.

Barthomley The White Lion must be one of the most traditional pubs in Britain. You get the impression that nothing's changed there for several decades. We were there with friends who live in the village and the atmosphere is great: everyone seems to know everyone else and cars and people are constantly stopping for someone to have a chat.
