"Burscough wharf was at the center of trade on the canal, with the Wharf Buildings purpose-built for the horses that pulled barges along the canal. The canal was crucial to Burscough's economy, with much of its employment dependent on the canal and industries along its banks. Burscough Wharf is now a retail and leisure development that has become a focal point for the local community."

The Thirsty Duck often serves Gluten Free beer for Coeliacs. Lovely after a walk along the canal on a summers day.
