Mains Hall
Mains Hall

Mains Hall (also known as Mains Hall Manor) is an historic building on Mains Lane in Singleton, Lancashire, England. It is Grade II listed, dating to the 16th century. A manor house, from the 11th century, is believed to have once stood on the site. Today's manor house was remodelled in the 17th century and altered again in the 18th century and beyond. It is now a hotel. It is in rendered brick with a slate roof, and has an irregular plan. The building has two storeys, and a hall range with projecting gabled bays, a large extension to the rear, and other additions. Most of the windows have been altered but there is one two-light mullioned window, and inside are the remains of some of the original timberwork. George IV is believed to have visited the manor in the early 19th century, while Cardinal Allen hid there to evade the Protestant authorities during the Reformation. The monks of Cockersand Abbey were granted right of passage at the manor. The manor was home to the Hesketh family for around 300 years; it was also the home of the Fitzherberts. Roger and Adele Yeomans purchased the property in 1989, when it was a bed and breakfast. A fire in 2002 revealed that the manor's walls were still the original wattle and daub construction. During restoration work, the Yeomans also discovered a secret chapel. An 18th-century octagonal dovecote, constructed of handmade brick, stands around 150 metres (490 ft) north of the manor. It is also Grade II listed.

A586 road

The A586 is a road in England, which runs from Garstang to Blackpool, in Lancashire. The road runs a total distance of 13 miles (21 km), in a roughly east–west direction, and is both urban and rural in character. It begins near Churchtown (53.8813°N 2.7804°W / 53.8813; -2.7804 (A586 road (eastern end))), south of Garstang and just east of Catterall, as a junction on the A6 Preston Lancaster New Road, immediately to the north of Kirkland Bridge. It runs as a winding rural single-lane road 2 miles (3.2 km) south west to St Michael's on Wyre, where it crosses the River Wyre. Becoming Garstang Road, it runs west, bypassing Great Eccleston and Little Eccleston, and sharing with the A585 as Garstang New Road between Larbreck and Little Singleton, about 4 miles (6.4 km) past St Michael's on Wyre. This is a wider, straighter stretch of road. The road splits from the A585 after approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), at the Five Lane Ends in Little Singleton, and enters the outskirts of Poulton-le-Fylde as Garstang Road East. From here, the road becomes progressively more urban as it reaches the suburbs of Blackpool. After 3.5 miles (5.6 km), as Poulton Road it crosses the A587 at the Plymouth Road roundabout, and becomes Westcliffe Drive as it passes through Layton, and Talbot Road shortly after. The road continues as Talbot Road past Blackpool North railway station, and passes through the town centre one-way system, eventually terminating at Talbot Square (53.8188°N 3.0558°W / 53.8188; -3.0558 (A586 road (western end))), where it meets the A584 and A583 next to the North Pier.
