Falcon Inn
A rear entrance to the Falcon Inn gave direct access to the canal towpath
One of the longest serving early landlords at the Falcon was Robert Wattleworth, a former railway labourer, who was originally from the Isle of Man.

Observations:- (by communication) present group of buildings date from 1877; no canal purpose. Saw some WBCC boundary stones preserved in garden. Canal line visible, but width reduced by infill for houses etc.. There was a stone edged wharf, now covered, and pub kept by Rix(?) who had cows, and transported milk by boat. Some reference to legal transactions with land when canal was abandoned: all original buildings pulled down с1877(?).
