Alt Park
 |
A few handpumps on the bar but none were in use when I visited. Nicely decorated in standard sizzling pub style, doing a good trade in food on a Friday evening or a Saturday afternoon.

Bar du Fay "Duffey"
|
An agreeably decorated wine bar - stone floor, wooden tables and bar front - where no-one was drinking wine, although they do have quite a range of bottles on sale. Strangely, there's a "wheeltappers and shunters" bell mounted on the wall.

Cask Cafe
 |
Opened in 2018, this is a cafe during the day and a micro-pub later. Excellent ales are served, and if the front room is too busy there is a comfortable and less crowded space to the rear.

Coach & Horses

Formerly two-sided but now knocked through, a pleasant pub belonging to Greene King. This pub still has the once-common arrangement of a bookie's in the car park.

Fox (Red House)
|
The Red House was a classic 50s Walkers house, with original woodwork etc. inside.
A thorough refurbishment has removed most traces of its history, creating a very pleasant and well cared for two-sided pub in modern style.

Great Mogul
|
Good old-style traditional decor in this large free-standing pub partially knocked through into one room but retaining some partitions. There's a pleasant beer garden, but watch out for the wasps! Good cask ale, and the food looks tasty.

Meadows

Contemporary chain dining pub decor in this large inter-war roadhouse. Despite being knocked through it retains a bar end and a lounge/dining end, and they've even got separate gents.

Bells Lane, Lydiate, by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
|
Scotch Piper
|
Reputedly the oldest pub In Lancashire, dating back to 1320. A thatched building with three drinking areas all served from a minuscule counter in the corner. Two rooms have concrete floor and ancient rustic wooden benches, the third is more "modern". Everywhere has low wooden beams, perhaps slightly marred by the sixties-style lampshades.
Grade II listed building.

Wetherspoon's Frank Hornby (Everest)
|
My notes on the Everest:
A pleasant two-sided 50s house, nicely looked after. Someone once told me this used to be Sir Edmund Hillary's local, but I think he may have been winding me up. (Thanks, Ernie.)
Wetherspoon's took over in 2012 with a substantial refurbishment featuring modern decor with a Meccano theme.
