  1. Cross-Roads

    Share Share Post
    There are eight cross-roads within a mile of the school. The roads are parallel and sometimes form a square. The men and boys meet a the cross-roads on Summer evening chatting and playing pitch and toss and skittles.
    At one cross-road a dance is held in the open every Sunday evening in Summer.
