Culvert Lane

Culvert Lane Cottages

These cottages no longer exist but it is believed they were built for canal workers.

This Grade II Listed building, dated 1679, is reputed to have been built from the stones of Lathom House in Lathom when it was razed to the ground by Oliver Cromwell.

Moss Cottage

An 18th century cottage – originally two cottages, then converted into one.

This was the barn for Doe House Farm and has a date-stone of 1663. It was converted to a private dwelling in the late 1960s.

The date 1852 is cut into the windowsill of the old basket-maker’s workshop, which faces Tabby’s Nook and which was an addition to the main house. The main house, built before 1852, was designed by Lady Derby for Lord Derby’s land manager.

Doe House Farm was formerly owned by the Derby Estates. It is believed to have been built circa 1600 and is a Grade II Listed building, largely because of the combined front porch and internal staircase, a typical feature of 17th century Lancashire farmhouses. The farmhouse was originally thatched.

This is believed to be one of the oldest houses in the village. It has the date 1555 cut into a beam in the loft.
