Cross o' th' Hands

Cross o' th' Hands is a small area of settlement in Derbyshire, England. It is located 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Derby on the A517 road between Hulland and Turnditch. The settlement is named after its original public house. The public house was near a gravel pit that was used for staging bare-knuckle fist fights, and was probably itself named after the sport. Despite the settlement's small size, it is well connected via public transport, served by two Arriva buses: the 109 and the 'one' service between Derby and Ashbourne .
