Abandoned Hillhouse Cottages

Now completely surrounded by a crop of wheat, even now Hillhouse Cottages display a robustness. They echo the feeling that they belong on a windswept Bronte moorland.

Admiral Rodney (2) - sign, Berrow Green near Martley, Worcs

There are several public houses in England named after Admiral Rodney, who was a famous naval figure in the late 18th century. George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney, KB (baptised 13 February 1718; died 24 May 1792) is particularly remembered for his commands in the American War of Independence, and especially for his victory over the French at the Battle of the Saintes in 1782. The use of Rodney as a first name for boys was due to the Admiral's fame. It became a popular name at the end of the 18th century. The sign for this pub, as with most, has changed over the years. The present one, which is fairly recent, is virtually a copy of the well-known portrait by Thomas Gainsborough of 1782. It depicts the Admiral at the Battle of the Saintes, and behind him is the French Fleur de Lys naval ensign from the captured ship "Ville de Paris".

The Crown (1), Martley, Worcs

The Crown is a large and much extended public house and restaurant in the village of Martley, on the B4197 road. Photographed early on a Saturday afternoon, the pub looked firmly closed but apparently on most days it does not open until 6pm, and on Mondays it doesn't open at all.

The Crown (2) - sign, Martley, Worcs

The pub is not a Marston's house, according to the brewery website, although it may well sell their beer. The name of the Crown indicates loyalty to the reigning monarch. It has been used as an inn or pub sign for hundreds of years. In the past, when most people were illiterate, the sign was easily recognised by people. The Crown is almost as popular as the Red Lion as a pub name. SO7559 : The Crown (1), Martley, Worcs. SO7559 : The Crown (3), Martley, Worcs.

The Crown (3), Martley, Worcs

Viewed from this side, the considerable extension to the original building can clearly be seen. The pub is adjacent to some farmland. There is currently a very controversial planning application to build fifty one houses on some of this. SO7559 : The Crown (1), Martley, Worcs. SO7559 : The Crown (2) - sign, Martley, Worcs.
