Name the village I was driving through...solved, beanie

Astley Green, near Leigh just off the A580. There’s a pub called the Boathouse at the side of the canal by a steep humped back bridge . This pit head is the mining museum.

You are correct, although if I wanted to be pedantic, I could deduct points as it the OLD boat house! But its ok i’m in a generous mood. :wink:
