Skippool Creek near Thornton in Lancashire.
The name 'Skippool' comes from Anglo-Saxon word 'skiff' (boat). Skippool became the Wyre's main port in the 17th century and the influx of sailors inevitably turned it into a colourful area. It became known as a centre for cockfighting, smuggling, ale houses, prostitution and press gangs. Rumours remain of tunnels under the river. Sailing ships from around the world docked here to unload flax and cotton for the Lancashire mills and guano from Africa. Ships from the West Indies brought rum, sugar and tobacco.
