I am not sure. I will have to investigate further

Sadly Derek passed away recently. Maryan is still with us. She married into the Birchall farming family from Rainford.

William Woods is the person I was querying.

I have been doing a family tree for a family member and have come across one of their ancestors who was on the 1861 census as a Publican. The family lived at 44 Duke Street, which is where Dominos is now. As far as I know this address was never a pub, does anyone know if there are records anywhere of landlords for this era so I can find out which pub he was the landlord of? Many Thanks

I used to go there as a kid and help Derek Waterworth out feeding the pigs and bringing the cattle in from the fields down near red rocks. I wanted to be a vet in those days and their vet Mr Barnes used to let me watch him treat some of the animals as long as it wasn't too gruesome. Sadly my dream of becoming a vet never materialised but I really enjoyed 'helping out'. I remember the old hut where Mrs Waterworth used to sell the vegetables from. She was amazing she could add the bill up as she was going along.
