Childe Of Hale

Carved from a large tree stump and lies by Hale Church. The "Childe" was a man called John Middleton 1578 - 1623 who was very tall and claimed to be over 9 feet but now thought to have been over 7 and a half feet, still a very big man indeed. Worked at the local Speke Hall. He fought the champion of King James I beating him and his fame spread. Died in poverty.

Lion Tavern, Moorfields.

This splendid pub is named after the famous steam loco. Now very much as it was in 1915 when it was converted into one building. A tribute indeed to all those who, over the years have kept the pub character by careful restoration.
