Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F12E5D - Roadside sign marks the rural Cheshire village and civil parish of Aston by Budworth, surrounded by a vivid display of yellow daffodils beside open fields and mature woodland. The sign carries the safety message Please Drive Carefully , combining a clear sense of local identity with a reminder to motorists entering the quiet countryside community. Flower-filled verges, green pasture, leafless oak trees and bright spring sunshine create an attractive seasonal scene beneath a blue sky and drifting white cloud.
Aston by Budworth lies within Cheshire East, north of Northwich and close to Great Budworth, Knutsford and the Arley Estate. The predominantly rural parish is characterised by agricultural land, farms, hedgerows, woodland and scattered houses rather than a densely developed village centre. Its historic landscape reflects the long relationship between local settlement, farming and the surrounding landed estates.
The settlement developed to the east of Great Budworth and was historically known as East Town by Budworth before evolving into its present name. Local history records that a manor existed here before the Norman Conquest, while Aston Park, a Queen Anne-style country house built in 1715, occupies the site associated with the earlier manor. The wider parish also has longstanding connections with the Warburton family and the nearby Arley Hall estate.
Daffodils in bloom bring colour to the foreground and provide a familiar visual sign of early spring in the English countryside. The upright composition emphasises the contrast between the modest village marker and the broad pastoral landscape beyond. The image illustrates rural life, village identity, road safety, agricultural heritage and seasonal tourism in one of Cheshire's quieter countryside locations. It is representative of the small civil parishes found between Northwich and Knutsford, where country lanes, pasture, historic estates and mature trees retain the distinctive character of the Cheshire la

Blessings are in never ending love Are put on us from Heaven above This running stream with ceaseless flow Springs from bounteous earth below.
Alike in both his goodness show Whom heaven and earth make its own.
This natural spring water in Budworth, Northwich, Cheshire, England, runs through a publically-funded stream that comes out from a tap. It's located in a sheltered house and is accessible to the public for free 24/7. Although it's tap water, several people in the locality have been using it for ages. There are no lab tests to back its quality, though. So drink at your own risk.
The correct coordinates are 53.29294388940146, -2.5090968151409543 and the complete address is Great Budworth, Northwich CW9 6HE, United Kingdom.
Directions:
To get to this spring water, you need to take the High Street from The Great Budworth and head to West. A few miles away there's a Warrington crossroad. This tap water should be near the crossroad preferably on your left just before the crossroad. It's famously known as the Great Budworth Drinking Fountain. Look for the hut-shaped construction.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT2K3 - Great Budworth is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England, four miles (6.4 km) north of Northwich off the A559 road, east of Comberbach, northwest of Higher Marston and southeast of Budworth Heath. Until 1948, Great Budworth was part of the Arley Hall estate.
Great Budworth is approached from the main Warrington to Northwich road about two miles (3.2 km) from Northwich, along a ridge overlooking two meres, Budworth to the west and Pickmere to the east.
It was situated in the hundred of Bucklow and deanery of Frodsham. At fifteen miles (24 km) in length and ten miles (16 km) in width, it was considered to be the second largest parish in Cheshire, after Prestbury. The parish contained nineteen townships: Budworth, Anderton, Appleton-cum-Hull, Aston-juxta-Budworth, Barnton, Barterton, or Bartington, Cogfoall, Comberbach, Dutton, Little-Leigh, Marbury, Marston, Pickmere, Stretton, Nether-Tabley, Over-Witley, Nether Witley, and Wincham.
The early history of Great Budworth is documented in the Domesday Book, which mentions a priest at Great Budworth.[7] In 1130, St Mary and All Saints Church was given to the Augustinian canon of Norton Priory by William FitzNigel, Constable of Chester and Baron of Halton.
The lord of the manor during the reign of Henry III was Geoffrey de Dutton. He donated to Norton Priory a third of his land to endow masses for his soul. After the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII granted the estate to John Grimsditch. It was afterwards divided into several parcels.
There may have been a school in Great Budworth as early as 1563, but certainly one existed by 1578. For centuries, the village was owned by the head of Arley Hall who would collect rent from the villagers. Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall paid for restorations and improvements to the church in the 1850s. Egerton-Warburton also undertook a campaign to render it (the village) picturesque in Victorian eyes. To this end he commissioned architects

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4575184473 - 'A traditional painted iron fingerpost sign in a lane that I often cycle down.
A fingerpost (sometimes referred to as a guide post) is a traditional type of sign post primarily used in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, consisting of a post with one or more arms, known as fingers, pointing in the direction of travel to places named on the fingers.
The posts have traditionally been made from cast iron or wood, with poles painted in black, white or grey and fingers with black letters on a white background, often including distance information in miles. In most cases, they are used to give guidance for road users, but examples also exist on the canal network, for instance. They are also used to mark the beginning of a footpath, bridleway, or similar public path
Mandatory standards (The Traffic Signs (Size, Colour and Type) Provisional Regulations) were passed for Great Britain in 1933 which required poles to painted with black and white bands and lettering to be of a different typeface. Signposts were removed across much of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland during World War II, lest enemy forces use them for navigation, and replaced in the late 1940s.
Road signing was next comprehensively reviewed in the United Kingdom from 1961 by the government-appointed Worboys Committee and the 1964 Traffic Signs Regulations brought in the signing system largely remaining in force today.
Whilst the 1964 regulations did encourage local authorities to remove and replace traditional fingerposts with the new designs, it was not made compulsory to do so. Regulations did not, however, permit new fingerpost style signs to be erected until a design was permitted by the Department for the Environment in 1994 (in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions of that year).
Of note was that the design did not allow for mileages of over three miles to be stock-photo/gotonysmith-Express.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>expressed with the use of halves and quarters. It is thus that new fingerposts have been required to round the previously more accurate distance measurements.
Whilst the 1964 regulations did not bring about a general requirement to remove all fingerposts in Great Britain (signage in Northern Ireland being treated somewhat separately), some counties appear to have been more zealous than others in eradicating them.
Fingerpost survival is highest in rural areas and away from major roads. Reacting to concern about the loss of historic fingerposts from the rural landscape, an advisory leaflet[4] was issued by the Department for Transport and English Heritage in June 2005 which stated that 'All surviving traditional fingerpost direction signs should be retained in-situ and maintained on a regular basis. They should be repainted every five years in traditional black and white livery. Other colours should be used only when these are known to have been in use before 1940'.
In recent years several county councils have embarked on restoration and repair programmes for their fingerpost stock, including the Highway Heritage Project in the Quantock Hills of Somerset.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KD3 - A traditional painted roadside sign announces that Great Budworth Real Dairy Ice Cream Farm and Tea Room is open at New Westage Farm in the Cheshire countryside. Suspended from a sturdy wooden post beneath a dark metal bracket, the deep red sign uses bold cream lettering to promote real dairy ice cream, the farm and its tea room. The smaller panel gives seasonal opening information, while the hinged lower board displays the simple and inviting word OPEN . Green trees frame the sign against a bright blue summer sky with scattered white cloud, creating an attractive rural scene associated with leisure, local food and countryside tourism.
The image illustrates how a working dairy farm can diversify beyond conventional milk production by turning its own agricultural produce into higher-value food sold directly to visitors. Great Budworth Ice Cream Farm makes traditional ice cream on the farm using milk produced by its cows, linking the product closely to its rural origin. The enterprise also offers refreshments and a family-friendly reason to visit, combining farming, food production, hospitality and retail within one countryside business.
New Westage Farm has longstanding links with the Wilkinson family. After Sarah Wilkinson completed qualifications in Food and Dairy Technology, former loose boxes were converted into a dairy and shop, and the ice cream farm opened in August 1993. This type of farm diversification can create an additional income stream, shorten the route between producer and customer and give the public a more direct connection with British agriculture. The roadside sign is therefore more than an advertisement for a sweet treat. It represents entrepreneurial farming, local enterprise, rural tourism and the adaptation of a traditional dairy business to changing consumer tastes.

The recorded location is George & Dragon, High Street Great Budworth, Northwich. CW9 6HF. In historical terms, heritage photography is particularly useful where buildings or objects have changed function
A former workplace, shop, transport structure or piece of equipment can become a museum object or landmark, linking everyday history with conservation and interpretation. In historical terms, public wording is part of the visual landscape
Direction signs, warning notices, painted advertisements and engraved plaques show how authorities and businesses communicated before digital screens and app-based information became widespread. During 2026, heritage remains economically and culturally significant through tourism, education and place-making, while the cost of maintaining historic fabric creates continuing debate about conservation and reuse. During 2026, much public information has moved onto smartphones and digital displays, making earlier fixed signs and printed notices increasingly useful as evidence of how people once navigated places, bought services and followed rules. In the longer view, older structures and artefacts provide tangible evidence that written records cannot fully replace
Their wear, construction, signage and setting help researchers understand community history, design, industry and social life across different periods. As background, historic objects and places gain meaning through survival
Materials, craftsmanship, inscriptions and later alterations can reveal how a building, machine or everyday item was made, used and valued, while preservation decisions show which parts of the past communities choose to retain. Associated subject terminology includes historic environment, local history, period detail, heritage asset, social history, architectural history, restoration, cultural heritage, and heritage tourism.

The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.
Great Budworth is a village that was formerly in the estate of Arley Hall. In the later part of the 19th century, its owner, Rowland Egerton-Warburton, undertook a campaign to restore the village and render it picturesque in Victorian eyes.
The George and Dragon was at that time a simple three-bay Georgian inn. In 1875 Egerton-Warburton commissioned the Chester architect John Douglas to undertake the restoration. Douglas added tall rubbed chimneys, mullioned windows and a steep pyramidal turret
On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722

'You just walk right in, just walk right in'...
I remember hearing and dancing to this one drunken night at the State Ballroom in Liverpool. I met an angel that night, who should have in retrospect changed my life. Sorry dear, I messed up not you. Funny thing fate and life.
'Ride on Time' is a 1989 song recorded by band Black Box. It was later released on their debut LP Dreamland. The song was a chart success in many countries and a number-one hit in the UK and Ireland.
The song was written and produced by the Italian production team Groove Groove Melody, consisting of DJ Daniele Davoli, programmer Mirko Limoni and musician Valerio Semplici. The team worked with French model Katrin Quinol, who was the face and image for the group Black Box. In the video and in live performances Quinol lip-synced to the original vocals.
The song sampled Loleatta Holloway's 1980 disco hit 'Love Sensation' and attracted some controversy for the uncredited use of Holloway's vocals from that song. Holloway's counsel engaged in a press attack on Black Box, successfully securing a settlement that paid the singer an undisclosed sum
the group had legally cleared the samples with Salsoul Records, who had released the original track, but Holloway was in arrears for advances from the label and thus was not recompensed by Salsoul. The song would be sampled 22 years later in the 2011 song 'Still Speedin'' by Sway.
For the re-release of the song, Heather Small re-recorded the vocals.
The song's title derives from a sample of Holloway singing the lyrics 'Thank you baby, 'cause you're right on time'. Daniele Davoli explained in Channel 4 documentary Pump Up The Volume that because of his limited knowledge of English at the time, he thought that Loleatta Holloway sang 'ride on time' instead of 'right on time'.

It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Clifton-Taylor includes it in his list of 'best' English parish churches. Richards describes it as one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture remaining in Cheshire. The authors of the Buildings of England series express the opinion that it is one of the most satisfactory Perpendicular churches of Cheshire and its setting brings its qualities out to perfection
It is an impressive church, built generally in the Perpendicular style although the long, and older north transept is constructed in the Decorated style. Built in red sandstone,[2] its plan consists of a west tower, a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, and a chancel flanked by chapels to the north and south. The north transept forms the Lady Chapel and the shorter south transept is the Warburton Chapel. At the west end of the south aisle is the south porch. The entire church is crenellated. On the north side of the tower is a sculpture of Saint Christopher and on the south side one of the Blessed Virgin. It has diagonal buttresses and an octagonal south-west turret, a Tudor-arched west window, small arched ringers' windows on the north, west and south faces, a clock on west face, and two-light belfry windows with stone louvres. Its top is crenellated with eight crocketed pinnacles.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHY6 - A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial. As the Sun appears to move across the sky, the shadow aligns with different hour-lines, which are marked on the dial to indicate the time of day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, though a single point or nodus may be used. The gnomon casts a broad shadow
the shadow of the style shows the time. The gnomon may be a rod, wire, or elaborately decorated metal casting. The style must be parallel to the axis of the Earth's rotation for the sundial to be accurate throughout the year. The style's angle from horizontal is equal to the sundial's geographical latitude.
In a broader sense, a sundial is any device that uses the Sun's altitude or azimuth (or both) to show the time. In addition to their time-telling function, sundials are valued as decorative objects, literary metaphors, and objects of intrigue and mathematical study.
A rudimentary sundial can be easily constructed to mark the passing of time by placing a stick in the sand or a nail in a board and placing markers at the edge of a shadow or outlining a shadow at intervals. It is common for inexpensive, mass-produced decorative sundials to have incorrectly aligned gnomons, shadow lengths, and hour-lines, which cannot be adjusted to tell correct time

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4443599673 - 'I cycled on my bike the 50 minute journey to this excellent grade II listed country pub many times. The George and Dragon in the Cheshire Village of Great Budworth was originally under control of the Arley Hall estate. Its original origins are thought to go back to 1722, according to a stone inside inscribed in latin. Its picturesque look is mainly down to vanity in victorian times when Rowland Egerton-Warburton (lord of the manor) decided a makeover (a'la changing rooms) was in order. The village and pub were not picturesque enough apparently. The architect John Douglas was dispatched from the city of Chester to add elaborate tall chimneys, a turret and fancy mullioned windows.
The pub sign is very interesting, similar in make up to those seen on inns on the Rhine, south of Cologne, Germany. The cut-out pictorial sign itself came from Nuremberg. The hefty bracket it hangs from was a product of a local smithy. Above the inner door can be seen a stone containing a verse written by Rowland Egerton-Warburton.

Almost the first thing that we read in the bibles old Testament (Gen.ch.1v.2) is that in the beginning 'The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep.' The very first action of God in creation was to say, ''Let there be light'
and there was light and God saw that the light was good.' (v3). Candles in churches are meant to represent that eternal light. Think on that when you admire those warm yellow tones.
