Spread Eagle at Eagley
On Hough Lane. In days past, Hough Lane met Eagley Way, and before that, Eagley Brow, at Eagley Brook and was a short cut between Bromley Cross and Astley Bridge. However, the route became a dangerous rat run and Hough Lane is now a cul de sac just lower down the hill from the pub.

The Old School House, Hough Lane
18th century stone building with mullioned windows, which appears to have been used as the local school before the new school was built in 1852. It currently again serves an educational purpose as it houses a nursery school.

School Street, Eagley
A typical street of early to mid 19th century mill-workers' cottages. The nearer group on the right were built as back-to-back houses around 1830, but each back-to-back pair has now been merged into a single dwelling.
