About the point that the Red Lion is replaced by the Yellow Line.

I've always liked that name "The Gate Hangs Well"- which is apparently a reference to turnpike toll gates. The one at Chapel-en-le-Frith still has the little jingle outside:

This gate hangs well
And hinders none.
Come in, refresh,
And travel on.
