Clayton-Le-Moors

Clayton-le-Moors is a town in the county of Lancashire, England. The town is locally referred to as "Clayton" and is believed to have developed while the Leeds to Liverpool Canal was being built as it is mid-way between the two cities and there was once a mural that illustrated that fact. The town's Whalley Road, still has some canal workers' cottages.

There are a selection of shops around Pickup Street and Barnes Square, and local attractions include Mercer Park, which was once the grounds of Mercer House and is now open to the public. The house used to be known as Oakenshaw Cottage and it was here that chemist and inventor John Mercer lived towards the end of his life. Mercer invented the mercerisation process for treating cotton.

There are also a good number of traditional pubs and hotels in Clayton, and with good access to the major towns and attractions in the region, this town offers and excellent vantage point from which to enjoy the best of Lancashire.
