I remember that cross. It was incorporated on the school badge of Gateacre Comprehensive, but on the badge it resembled a Celtic cross.

Does a celtic cross have anything to do with a being Proddy or a catholic?

Nice one Ged.

Utterly fantastic Ged! Not seen a copy of this at all. I was convinced that there WAS a seat going around the wall from my early memories but wasn't sure - this proved the fact!

Bit of info about the cross here:

Wow,thanks a lot Cad,I've been looking for a pic' like that for ages! Some old guy told me about it,and how he,and his mates made a raft to sail to the island in the middle of it,when he was a kid!We tried finding it,but only found Jackson's pond rd,on a new housing development,so guessed it was long gone!(filled in due to a drowning?) Sadly,the guy concerned has passed on!

Aye me mum and her sister and two brothers (Challinor surname) used to play in and around that area when they were kids. It's now just a field which is still boggy in the middle.
