Description
There are two local pubs, both on the A565 north of the village: the Weld Blundell, on Scaffold Lane; and the Red Squirrel, which is part of the Harvester restaurant chain, at the junction of Scaffold Lane and Orrell Hill Lane. There is a social club located at the Village Hall. There is also a third pub, the Pheasant, a short distance away at the other end of Orrell Hill Lane at its junction with Moss Lane.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
