After revisiting the village and woodlands of my childhood last weekend (see the last 2 posts) and writing about the famous local foxhound I thought I would post some more info about the Cheshire village I grew up in. I mentioned the local hostelry had it's name changed to honour the dog Blue Cap and have added some old images and a link to the history of the area. The statue of Bluecap on top of the hotel sign is now a feature inside the building and the monument to Bluecap in the image above is at the kennels. The Round Tower is the symbol of the village and is only a few yards up the road from the Blue Cap Hotel which is on the busy Chester / Manchester A556. Our house was just a couple of hundred yards away in the other direction.
What a wonderful tour, and that pub is sure worth
