About Dalton

Dalton, a hamlet in West Lancashire, breathes a quiet existence. It lies 2.1 km north-north-east of Skelmersdale (from Skelmersdale: bearing 19°T, OS grid SD 494 081). The fields surrounding Dalton often hold a soft, diffused light, particularly in the late afternoons of spring, where the rich soil yields its bounty. Once, perhaps, the land here was more open, a gentle expanse of pasture crisscrossed by ancient tracks, and a sense of that original spaciousness can still be felt. The air carries a faint scent of damp earth and the distant murmur of agricultural machinery, a constant reminder of the working landscape that defines Dalton. Though not a place of grand monuments, the very simplicity of its dwelling places, their modest brick and slate, speaks of generations who have made their lives here.
