The Abbey Cross, junction of Potter Street and Priorswell Road, Worksop, c 1950s

Potter Street - Priorswell Road
Worksop
England

This picture was taken when the road had just been realigned. Previously the road (Abbey Street) ran through the arch of the Priory Gatehouse. The Priory was founded on March 3rd 1103. In connection with the diverting of the public road through the Priory Gateway, about 1899, the cross was taken down, and rebuilt nearer the Gatehouse. It is said that the intervention of the Duke of Newcastle saved it from, destruction on this occasion.
