Dist:0.3km<br/>Bents Lane Social Club was named after the former wooden building built on stilts, which it replaced. It had been known locally as "The Rat Pit", and now boasts that name on its frontage. The building is the local polling station for elections. Can the locals be the only ones in the United Kingdom to vote at an officially designated rat pit? . A plaque [[2019766]] on the wall unveiled in 2007 commemorates William Watson who was born in house that previously stood on the site.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The A560 towards Hyde. The bus stop is labelled "Minibuses only". Why even a minibus would want to stop here on this busy road I can't imagine. It is just past the exit from Morrisons and Homebase and there is a layby for regular buses lower down the road.
