Well spotted, Bee! And shame on the rest of you!

My guess is that this may have originated with Ossy Mills; they've been complaining about the mess for years. Certainly, the theme of what's been plastered up there - the hard graft of mill workers - suggests that.

One problem, though. The stuff got pasted up there yesterday. As of two hours ago, it was already peeling off. Still, I suppose that's the sort of craftsmanship you would expect from Ossy.

Re: Pubs

A good friend of mine has lived at York Cottage all his life and told me it used to be a pub.

He isn't sure how long ago it was when it closed but his mother lived in the cottage for years before he was born.

The pub was the York Inn and the cottage is just past Broadfield school on the other side of the road.

Does anybody have any information on it and why it was called York Inn.
