The old road (South lane) climbs steeply to the left, whilst the turnpike road of c.1823 takes an easier route. An old town well is built into the retaining wall. The Shoulder of Mutton on the right is one of at least three old inns in the small area south of Victoria Square. One would expect the township boundary between Wooldale and Cartworth to be the centre of the River Ribble, but it is more complicated than that, and is the face of the retaining wall opposite the pub.
