During 1932 - 1968 there was a riding stables here, it was jointly run by my cousin Jonny. Various other businesses have been here, at the far end of the yard adjacent to Poverest Road was a lodging house. This was run by my grandfather and then my mother. The occupants were of various types, aboyut 50% were Irishmen, these were 'Navvie'. Crossways Builders yard is still a family business and is now run by my-self and my youngest son Chris.
