Anyone know any info on the grave stones that can be seen from the road near Cross Green? Obviousley the factories etc have been built around them. and a close up...
they look like they're positioned in a circle too. hmmm. they look old though, glanced over from the road this morning. might stop one day and read them.
cos they look identical to graves stones in shape and size. You can clearly see them when you drive past. they're mossy green colour, not stood straight, slightly slanted, classic gravestone shape. what else could they be?

Markers for many things as many here have found - really need to look at them up close. Intriguing.
Can't line it up very well but the 1909 map shows a shaft to the south of Sanford House, prety close to these. That indentation is characteristic of the settlement you can get from the infill (or lack of!). No idea what the markers might be though.
