HERITAGE TRAIL No. 4 to Celebrate Lancashire Day, 2015 Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL NO
Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL No. 4 To Celebrate Lancashire Day, 2015 Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL NO. 4 Welcome to Shevington & District Heritage Trail No. 4 which covers aspects of our local heritage to be found on both sides of Miles Lane from its junction with Broad o’th’ Lane, across the M6 Motorway and up to its Back Lane junction in Shevington Vale. As I have stated in previous trails, I trust this one will also help to stimulate interest in the heritage of our local community and encourage residents to explore it in more detail John O’Neill Introduction Much of the manor of Shevington from earliest recorded times remained a sparsely populated area whose ownership was largely in the shared possession of prominent landed families. As late as Tudor times there were as few as 21 families across the entire area, only 69 by the reign of George III and less than 1,000 inhabitants by the time of Queen Victoria’s accession in 1837. It was still under 2,000 at the 1931 census. The most significant rise occurred between 1951 when it reached 3,057 and up to 8,001 by 1971. At the last Census in 2011 the population had risen to 10,247. Even today, just beyond the current building-line, it can clearly be observed from the M6 motorway, Shevington’s rural landscape of open countryside, woods, streams and ponds remains to a large extent as it was, prior to the short-term local effects of industrial activity from the mid-18th century to the 1950s/60s together with local farming, although the latter is less evident today with the diminution of grazing flocks and herds, than it once was only fifty years ago. -

The Sankey Navigation
SANKEY NAVIGATION THE FIRST LANCASHIRE CANAL BY T. C. BARKER, M.A. Read 16 December 1948 > HEN Arthur Young visited the north of England in w 1771 he went " to Manchester with design not only to view the manufactures of that town but to make it my headquarters from thence to go the tour of his Grace the Duke of Bridgewater's navigation about which such wonders are abroad." 11 ' In the account of his tour in the north Young devoted forty- six pages, complete with maps and diagrams, to a description of these wonders: the twelve sets of " canal doors ", the underground tunnel deep into the hillside at Worsley and the aqueduct over the Irwell at Barton were all greeted with excited enthusiasm. Young's description, Smiles's appealing character sketch of James Brindley 12 ', and the reputation which the Bridge- water Canal gained by its magnificence, have together caused some historians, following Young's example, (3) to concentrate their attention upon the Worsley-to-Manchester Canal at the expense of the Sankey Navigation. Professor Mantoux, for instance, wrote that the Worsley Navigation was "the first real canal in England " (4), a belief which has received further wide publicity from Dr. Trevelyan ^ Arthur Young, A Six Months' Tour Through the North of England (London, 2nd edn., 1821), Vol. Ill, p. 187. 121 S. Smiles, Lives of the Engineers (London 1861), Vol. I, pp. 307-476. 13 'A few days before his visit to Manchester, Young had gone from Warrington to Liverpool on which journey he must have crossed the Sankey Navigation. -

Notes. [299 .1 the Heywoods of Heywood
127 _ Jfriba , Auguzt 9th, 1907 . NOTES. [299 .1 THE HEYWOODS OF HEYWOOD . THE FAMILY IN THE ISLE OF MAN . SOME FURTHER NOTES . To supplement and correct the article from the "Manx Note Book," printed at No . 297, let me offer the following brief notes :- First as to the date of the Heywood char- ter, I would refer the reader to the note een- tribu,ted to this column by Dr. Hunt, a few months--ago . The assertion that "Peter Hey- wood, who died in 1657, was sixteenth in descent from Piers, living 1164," is not, I think, strictly correct, the pedigree from which that statement is taken being not quite ecmplete . Most of the sons and daughters of Gover- nor Heywood were buried, married, and bap- tised in Kirk Malew, and their names entered in the parish registers . During a recent stay at the Isle of Man, I viuited this old church . My visit was really a pilgrimage . Not an affectionate pilgrimage, not a religious pil- grimage, merely a pilgrimage of idle curiosity! I had seen this place mentioned so often in the Heywood pedigree that I thought I would like to see it. After looking up the locality on the map, I started off one fine morning in early June-fine, for the bad weather of that awful month had not yet commenced . Leav- ing Peel, changing trains at Douglas, and dis- mounting at - Ballasalla was the first part of my journey . Near Ballasalla stands Rushen Abbey, now only a few bare ruins, a tower, a Crypt, and a remnant of the -walls . -
