Four Ends Lane which leads down from Booth Road to Newchurch Road and Waterbarn/Brandwood village.

View from Waterbarn hill over-looking Brandwood which most people call Waterbarn. Water barn Green is in the centre of the picture. You can make out the white sight screen in the centre, which Stacksteads cricket team use for matches. Stacksteads Cricket Team have played here in their various guises since 1903. The developer wants to throw them off. But not of we villagers have our way. It is such a pleasure on a balmy summer afternoon to have the cricketers playing a match. I often sit in my garden and watch them (and I hate sport!! lol). But there's something very 'British' about it and I for one would hate to lose it.

The Beautiful Fearns Hall, up for sale again! But still separated into two houses. If only I had the money I would by both halves and turn it back into one house and restore it to it's original state. There are several ghosts said to reside here including 'the grey lady' who has been seen peering sadly through the windows above the door as if looking for someone. A coach and four is also supposed to be seen racing past the house in the dead of night. Oliver Cromwell is supposed to have stayed here.
