The Memorial Hall is at the "black eye" not the "point" of the pin here, where the bus stop is shown. Postcode B49 6HL (for satnav etc) directs to close by. Opposite the Hall on B4089, is clearly Old Station House.Note: "Station House" that Googlemap indicates is NOT the Old Railway Station.) ***********************************************************************************************************************************
Great Alne & Kinwarton Memorial Hall - beside a bend in the B4089 - - lies behind the pleasant green on which we set up the Maypole. For rail directions to arrive, & local bus, choose the MAP - etc page here. Feel free to contact us for any advice.
