In the 17th century Izaak Walton author of 'The Compleat Angler' lived in a cottage nearby. This would have been a quiet spot with only the coaching road to disturb the peace. The coming of the railway with its junction at Norton Bridge in the 19th century transformed the area. Pendolino tilting trains now thunder through every few minutes.
