    The White Bull isn't here any more - it's just a Mews of Houses - aye a Boggart could have fun there right enough. The stone along the way is still there though. I heard they planned to move it to somewhere. The whole area has links to little people possibly from the amount of Irish folk who came here as Navigators or Navvies to build the canals and railways and roads of the Industrial Revolution of which Lancashire had a large part to play. Good folk 'll be reet enough if they says their prayers and mind themselves to stay clear of bad places o' the night. See thee.
