BATTLE has commenced over the future of an “historic” part of a Cheshire village.
Dogwood Cottage in Shay Lane, Oscroft, is visible on the 1838 Tithe Map of Cheshire and also appeared in a millennium booklet detailing the village’s history.
Owner Bob Parker has now applied to demolish the cottage in order to build a new home on the site.

Villager Bob Stephenson from Shay Lane said: “I’m absolutely appalled. Something serious ought to be done to stop it.
