I can't figure out why I didn't get a photo of this pub, since I usually photograph every pub I go into. But anyroad, it's at:
Crooke Road, Crooke Village, near Wigan WN6 8LR
01942 236088
The pub is next to the Leeds-Liverpool canal, in countryside about 2 miles out from the western side of Wigan town centre. There is a set of steep stairs to get into it from the canal side but it's built on a hill so the front door is level with the road.

These photos are just to show that the pub is in fact in the countryside and there is a certain amount of wildlife hereabouts. Non-locals tend t think the Wigan area is all industrial and grim.
