A MYSTERIOUS MIDDLEWICH INSCRIPTION


by Dave Roberts
Well there's nothing mysterious about the inscription itself. It's a simple rendering of the name A GALLAGHER made with a penkife or some other pointed metal object a good few years ago from the look of it.
 It can be found (just) within the Middlewich Town boundary, but not in the town itself.
 The name is inscribed on a very hard stone, one of many in the vicinity, and must have taken quite a bit of painstaking work over quite a long time.
I've seen this many many times over the years, and it must have been seen also by many people walking their dogs or just taking a stroll, or even making use of an old but still popular form of transport..
It will have been seen in its time by many working people as well as thousands of leisure seekers.
Could the A GALLAGHER commemorated here be Albert Gallagher?
Our simple question is - where is it?
