Howick Cross is a landmark and small hamlet in Penwortham, South Ribble, Lancashire, England.
The hamlet is predominantly made up of a small community, a primary school, various farms and an electrical substation.
Only the base is original, a roughly hewn cube-shaped block 75 cm wide and 60 cm deep; this stands on stone plinth which has an inscription stating that it was restored to commemorate peace, 1919; and it carries a cross 1 metre high.
[3] The former parish name survives in Howick C E School,[4] the Hutton and Howick Women's Institute (the oldest in Lancashire, founded by suffragette Edith Rigby)[5] and the former railway station.
It was renamed New Longton and Hutton on 3 November 1934 and closed, along with the line, on 7 September 1964.
