The spirit of the Tour de France arrived in Crosspool today as handmade bunting, an official flag and a yellow bike were installed in the precinct.

As well as red, white and blue bunting, Crosspool Forum volunteers have also hand-knitted mini Tour de France jerseys which have been draped on the streetlight near GT News.

An official yellow tour flag is hanging above the chemist and a bike sprayed with yellow paint can now be found at the foot of the tree outside Spar.

Crosspool was awash with colour this week as flags were hung above the shops.

This year’s various flags include the white rose of Yorkshire, to mark the visit of the Tour de France to the county, flags to show support for England (and Italy, if you look above Guido’s!) in the world cup and also Union flags above some of the other shops.
