Crooke Manchester Map

About Crooke

Crooke, a small settlement in the Wigan district, carries the quiet dignity of places that have witnessed the slow turning of seasons and the steady pulse of industry. It lies 2.8 km south-south-west of Standish (from Standish: bearing 196°T, OS grid SD 553 075), and is situated south-east of Shevington village. The land around Crooke, gently rolling and often softened by a pearly Lancashire light, has long been shaped by the hand of agriculture, its fields a patchwork of greens and golds that shift with the passing months. Though the seams of coal that once defined much of this landscape have largely been worked out, the ghost of that industry lingers in the very air, a faint, earthy memory. The houses of Crooke, often built of sturdy brick, seem to hunker down against the wide sky, their windows reflecting the muted colours of the surrounding countryside. Here, the days unfold with a deliberate pace, a gentle rhythm that feels as natural as the persistent murmur of the nearby streams.
