The Hall experienced a significant transformation in 1865 when it became the headquarters of the Kirkless Hall Coal and Iron Company, playing a vital role in the region’s industrial revolution. Positioned alongside the picturesque Leeds and Liverpool Canal near the top lock, the inn benefits from its scenic waterside location while maintaining its historical connections. It is a popular destination for those exploring Wigan’s rich industrial past while enjoying quality refreshments in an environment that still reflects Aspull’s mining heritage.

Guide To Kirkless Hall Inn
The Kirkless Hall Inn, located on Albion Drive in the historic village of Aspull, is situated on a site rich in industrial heritage that dates back centuries. This charming establishment stands in the shadow of the Grade II* listed Kirkless Hall, a stunning building with a datestone from 1663, which once served as the centrepiece of a sprawling 59-acre estate that extended into Ince and Wigan.

Absolutely fabulous meal – this place is run by Indians, so don’t mess about, select one of their authentic Wigan curries.😁
Absolutely delicious, and so friendly.
The perfect reward after the Wigan locks. We had to wait a little because they don’t open until 2pm Wednesdays, but it’s seriously worth waiting for!

Lovely little find on the Leeds Liverpool Canal, we were walking and decided to pop in for a quick drink, we ended up having lunch here too and it was delicious, the staff are really nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Looks a little bit dated but we are so glad we called in.

This pub is a gem! Initial impressions were that it was a little run down, however, when we ventured in for a drink we found them to be very welcoming, the decor fresh and super clean!
We did not have any food, as we had already eaten else where, wish we had though, it sounded amazing!
We had a very interesting evening chatting to the owners in the bar and their little shop next door. The drinks were very reasonably priced, and looking at the menu I would say the food not only sounds great but is the cheapest I have seen for years.
Well worth a visit, especially if you have come from the canal like us, and worked all of the locks up the Wigan Flight. If you ask nicely you may even get a certificate to show you have completed them
