This Grade I Listed Building continues to provide journeyers on the A1 road with refreshment and sustenance for the body and soul.
- 4 May: Sankey Canal Restoration Trust. So near to us and so little known, the Sankey Valley provided the venue for one of our longer walking groups when members were fascinated at the work being done to restore the historic canal, the first industrial waterway in England. Peter Keen, Secretary to the Trust, will tell us stories about the history, decline and re-birth of the area.
- June: No meeting but don’t forget the AGM. Come along and take part, it’s your meeting.
