The Bent Alderwasley
The top picture shows part of The Bent as it is today, and
the lower picture is of a country lane near The Bent, a country
scene which is probably not much different from that seen by
folk who lived in the area in the 18th.C.
This was also a farm occupied the Byards for several generations,
from the late 17th C. up to the 20th C.
The Bent later became a chapel.
The Bent and Broadgates are within a mile or so of each other.
