Left: Crosshands, with the school house on the right hand side, and the little building in the front left, was a pub. It is thought it was once called The Danfoss Inn, and would possibly have been open until as late as the1930s. (Info from Hughy Hodge). I have never been yet able to verify this.
Right: Looking towards Crosshands, the road is a little different to that nowadays.
