More about this scene
This view looks south along Wigan Road to the Anderton Arms, now managed as an Italian restaurant. During the 17th century, one of the country's first paper mills was built in the village, a far cry from Euxton's industrial role in the 20th century, when a munitions factory began production here shortly before the start of the Second World War.

Just found this site.
I was born in Euxton in the early 50s, went to school there for a while and finally left in the early 70s.
My dad's family had lived in the village since the late 19th century. They came from Wrightington and before that from the Preston area, I believe.
I remember Eli - he was a village fixture and everyone knew him. I knew his son too who I seem to remember was the porter at Euxton Balshaw Lane ...see more
I am amazed no one has posted any memories of Euxton as it is a wonderful place with a rich history. I have only lived here for 25 years but even in that short time realise it has been a close knit community with lots of characters, who remembers Eli Heaton? Come on Euxton, rack your brains.
