Lostock Gralam aircraft crash site

This must have caused a bit of excitement in the village its a Junkers 88 bomber shot down by the New Zealand air force at 23.45 hours 5th of May 1941. The site I think is behind the train station the valley in the background is wade brook. I do know that the German bombers would follow the  river Trent and branch off along the Trent and Mersey canal on their way to Liverpool.

Lostock crossroads Black Greyhound

This is looking towards Northwich on the right the Slow and Easy and behind the Black Grey Hound, you can see both pub signs. The Black Grey Hound was pulled down and rebuilt at Wincham before the first world war. On the left is Smallwood creameries just sticking out is the post office todays chippy.
Far left the double fronted shop it was pulled down in the earlier 60's then it was Eric Longworth hair dressing shop I had my first haircut the first week he opened sept 1950.

Looks like I have the pubs the wrong way round it is the Black Greyhound first and the Slow and Easy on the same side as it is today. On the post card that this pic came from the Black Greyhound sign is not clear but the Slow and Easy sign does show what I thought was a greyhound it is more than likely a horse.
