Horsing around

A READER sent in this picture of horses gathered in Cinnamon Brow for a 10-mile ride.

Jennifer Appleton said she was amazed to see people and horses gathered on Perth Close on April 26.

“I spoke to a lady from Stoke-on-Trent who told me they had all met in Perth Close to prepare for a ten-mile ride together but that they would only know the route once the leader arrived,” said Jennifer, of Wasley Close, Cinnamon Brow.

“It took quite a while to get them all lined up in single file.

“But once that was done they set off at a good speed towards Enfield Park Road and away.”

Hoping for a sign

A PARISH council is looking into the possibility of putting up a sign near to the entrance of Bennetts Recreation Ground.

At the last meeting of Poulton With Fearnhead Parish Council, councillors agreed to look at a new sign close to the entrance on Blackbrook Avenue.

Parish councillors said they want to have the sign in keeping with the history of the area, including RAF Padgate and the Bennett family.
