About Astley
- Astley Green Colliery Museum, a short distance from the village, preserves the last surviving headgear and engine house from the Lancashire coalfield and is one of the most important industrial heritage sites in the north-west of England. The colliery, which closed in 1970, is home to the largest collection of colliery winding engines in Europe, and the museum tells the story of the coal mining industry that dominated the lives of communities across the Lancashire coalfield for over two centuries. Chat Moss, the vast peat bog that stretches across the area between Astley and Manchester, was the site of one of the greatest engineering challenges of the early railway age, when George Stephenson floated the Liverpool and Manchester Railway across it in 1830.
