The old road-sign. on the 'Black Swan junction'
The road originally was a 'T-junction here. but is now a crossroads
There was also a 'White Swan' pub next door to it, but that's now a CCTV/Hi-Fi repair business

How it looked, date unknown
That's a Bedford CA van, which came into production about 1954(?)
And, a gate that's been in-situ, for a lot of years, & I pass a lot, but have never photographed before for some odd reason
Surprisingly, the gate's not on GeoGraph, but is about 100yards closer to the M62, than this Fish shop
