Cross Daggers Explained

The Cross Daggers is a restaurant and former pub in Woodhouse, Sheffield, England.^[1]

The lintel above the door is inscribed "NTG 1658" with the N reversed; the initials may have stood for Thomas Godfrey Newbould, a prominent Quaker and landlord. The building overlooks the village stocks as well as the cross. Although it has mostly been used as a pub, in more recent years it has been used to house various restaurants.^{[2] [3]}
