What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: Kendricks Cross In medieval times a wayside cross stood near here at the junction of two highways. After 1754 this was the site of a toll-bar. A sandstone pillar was erected by Bartholomew Bretherton in 1821 to mark this place. Recorded plaque organisation: Rainhill Civic Society.
Kendricks Cross marks a historic intersection that has served as a site for religious devotion with a medieval wayside cross and later as a commercial checkpoint with the establishment of a toll-bar in 1754, reflecting changes in local land use from spiritual to economic purposes.
