Date:1960

Description:View of the junction of Woodhouse Lane, Hot Lane, Wraggs Lane and New Street. The old gentleman is Bill Finney, who lived nearby and spoke the moorland dialect, which was as good as a foreign language from theose outside the district. The Rose and Crown is a typical moorland building constructed with the locally quarried Millstone Grit (now re-named Chatsworth sandstone), and looks very much the same today (2003).
