ICONIC VIEW OF THE TELESCOPE

A cracking view of the massive dish. Nice quite lanes and yes what is it with people driving range rover and cyclist they come very close and pass very fast. The farmers gave way for me to come around the tractor.

From English Heritage : “These two massive Saxon stone crosses dominate the cobbled market square of Sandbach. They are elaborately carved with animals and Biblical scenes including the Nativity of Christ and the Crucifixion, and probably date from the 9th century. They were originally painted as well as carved, and they are among the finest surviving examples of Anglo-Saxon high crosses.”

The plaque says “This is part of the ninth-century cross that was erected in 1578 to mark a charter granting Sandbach a weekly market. This piece survived Protestant extremists' attempts to destroy it and helped inspire the restoration of the crosses in 1810.”

Very impressive looking viaduct
