The Pilot Boat Inn and Cottages
The original Pilot Boathouse dates from 1747 and was so called because a small boat belonging to the Mersey Pilots was kept at the rear of the inn. Post mortem's of those found drowned in the river were held in the public house. It is likely that rebuilding took place in April 1876 when the original cottage was extended with the public house you see today.
