About Crankwood
Crankwood rests on the gentle slopes of Lancashire, a quiet corner of Greater Manchester. It lies 3.0 km north-east of Golborne (from Golborne: bearing 43°T, OS grid SJ 624 999), and is situated south of Bickershaw village. The air here often carries a faint, earthy scent, a legacy of the coal mining that once shaped its identity, a scent that seems to cling to the very brickwork of the older houses. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, can lend a surprising warmth to the red sandstone of St. John the Baptist Church, its tower a stoic marker against the horizon. The former industrial heart of Crankwood has long since quieted, giving way to a more unassuming pace of life, where the rustle of leaves in the hedgerows now provides the prevailing soundtrack.
