Crooke bridge Leeds/Liverpool canal
Crooke village was established to service the barges and barge workers when this was still a working canal.
As recently as the late nineteen sixties there was a coal chute. Coal, dug from several local pits, was loaded onto barges. This went to local mills and factories and farther afield.
