The Queen Adelaide and Tattoo
The Queen Adelaide is named after the wife of William IV who came to the throne in 1831. The Queen was one of the benefactors of St George&#039;s Church. Before the pub was built around 1830 the site was occupied by a small factory making shuttles and picks for the local cotton factories. Its first landlord was Orlando Oldham who also ran a large cork factory in Gee Cross.

The tattoo parlour next to the Queen Adelaide was previously the Double D Cafe <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4486933">SJ9593 : The Queen Adelaide &amp; Double D's Caf&eacute;</a>.

Nettles on the TransPennine Trail The TransPennine Trail mostly follows the line of the former Godley to Apethorn Railway. Here the main line tracks to the south side of a clump of trees near Swains Valley. The north side is a path for horse riders but in recent years it has became a barely usable quagmire. Now abundant nettles are spreading across.

Horse rider on the TransPennine Trail
The TransPennine Trail follows the line of the former Godley to Apethorn railway. For much of its length there is a metalled path for cyclists and walkers and a separate bridleway alongside. Much of the bridleway is now an unusable quagmire so riders are having to make use of the cycleway.
