Stubshaw Cross Heritage Garden

As this month seems to be `clean up a dump month` I am looking for volunteers to help me clean up our little heritage garden at the corner of woods lane and Bolton Rd.(Opposite Golborne Rd.Its been in existance for over 300 years so Mother Nature`s done a hell of a job on it. Any volunteers?

Re: Stubshaw Cross Heritage Garden

As a matter of interest, who owns this land?

Re: Re: Stubshaw Cross Heritage Garden

That`s incorrect Andrede.
I was told by planning that they didn`t own it and I have a map to prove it. It is supposed to belong to Lord Gerard but since the cross was erected in1665 it has become an ancient monument site and is protected as such. We, the people of Stubshaw Cross are the rightful owners.
