Penketh Perambulation 10 - Hinge or Bracket? Traditional Cache

The Perambulation is a short walk through the village of Penketh, with 13 caches to find along the way. It takes in some of the history of Penketh, informing and entertaining along the way. If you start at Honiton Way Shops, there is ample free parking, and the route is circular, so you end up back where you started. The whole walk should take about 1.5 hours. You may need tweezers, and you will need your own pen for them all.

The route passes the bowling green, which is the only remaining example of the social facilities provided for the employees of the old tannery, before crossing over the dual carriageway again to find a half-hidden pathway which once again crosses Penketh Brook.

The bridge here is one built to replace the original at the time the dual carriageway was built. The pathway however is much older, and used to form a route for local residents to walk to work at the tannery. The cache was originally hidden close to the remnants of the original Victorian bridge, but unfortunately these have recently been removed during renovation work when the path was resurfaced. The Cache now makes use of the replacement fence-line.
