The Crown's a great pub - good food and a great range of beers. Angie's very friendly and welcoming. It was a small company when I was there for the singaround, but fewer people means more turns!

Not very far from the Crown is Red Rock Bridge, which crosses the Leeds-Liverpool canal. The miners' cottages in this picture were where my g-g-ggrandfather - a miner - lived in the 1840s.
