The Eagle and Child public house on the corner of Warrington Road and Scotchbarn Lane not long after it closed in 2007. The name Eagle and Child stems from the crest of the Stanley family, the Earls of Derby, much associated with this area. In 1385, Isabella de Lathom married Thomas Stanley and following this marriage, the Stanley family adopted the 'eagle and child' crest of the Lathom family and continue to use it to this day.
