Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMX6P - Grappenhall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.[1]
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Gropenhale and a with a valuation of five shillings.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower, just beyond this location. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs - The Parr Arms and The Ram's Head, Grappenhall Hall residential School and St. Wilfrids Primary School. Bradshaw Community Primary School is located north of the village centre.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. It is also the birthplace of actor Tim Curry. The village name appears in the title of the song Grappenhall Rag by Darwen singer/songwriter Bryn Haworth.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3805820288 - 'An image of the Rams Head pub in Grappenhall made using the cyanotype process.
An original slude was taken and this was printed onto a sheet of photographic film (10x8 inches) in a darkroom. Thi sis then the negative.
Some 180gsm art paper was then painted with a mixture of Green ferric ammonium citrate and half again of Potassium ferricyanide disolved in water. Hence the streaks at the edges.
These were then allowed to dry in subdued light then stored until a bright day came along in a black plastic printing film bag to prevent fogging.
When the bright sun came the paper, negative and heavy glass sheet were sandwiched and left for 20 minutes. Finally a wash of hydrogen peroxide was applied. The print was then fixed and stable, ready to be dried.

I am not sure what the pub was named after. A 'Rams Head' in canal terms is the wooden rudder post on a butty usually decorated with rope work and sometimes with a horse's tail. Maybe this is the source as the Bridgewater canal is only a short stones throw away.
