  • 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.

  • Founded on Coal
    FOUNDED ON COAL A HISTORY OF A COAL MINING COMMUNITY: THE PARISH OF ST. MATTHEW HIGHFIELD AND WINSTANLEY by RAY WINSTANLEY and DEREK WINSTANLEY with a foreword bv Rev. W. Bynon Copyright R. & D. Winstanley, 1981 Published by R. Winstanley, 22 Beech Walk, Winstanley. Printed by the Supplies Section of the Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (Administration Department) FOREWORD When walking or driving along Pemberton Road and Billinge Road, you are aware of the new housing estates and the rush of traffic. It is not difficult to imagine that the Parish of Highfield is one of the new suburbs created to absorb the workers of Lancashire and Merseyside. The truth is very different as you will discover in the pages of this book. The history of this area can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 A. D. and by far the most historic building is Winstanley Hall. As a legal parish we can only go back to 1910, but as a church we go back to 1867 when the Pemberton Colliery Church School was built. The name of Pemberton Colliery gives us a clue to the origin of a church on this site. The link between the Blundell family and the Church has given to this parish the schools, the cricket Field, the graveyard and the vicarage. The present church, completed in 1894, was the gift of Col. Blundell in memory of his wife, Lady Blundell. The Blundell family were generous benefactors to the parish. Although the physical area referred to in this book is that of the parish of St Matthew, this is the history not just of a church, but of a whole community.
