Where to stay in Fishpool
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Market Street is the eastern edge. Fishpool's square of roads puts a visitor inside Bury rather than outside it, so a base in the town leaves the Fusilier Museum, Bury Art Museum and Bury Castle within an ordinary walk of Manchester Road and Wellington Road. Gigg Lane closes the south.
You want this square if the trip is built around Bury's museums and the East Lancashire Railway rather than around the country beyond the town.

About Fishpool
What are the main landmarks in Fishpool?
The East Lancashire Railway heads the list. Bury Castle, the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bury and Holy Trinity Church, Bury put the older record on that list, while the Peel Memorial and the Kay Monument at Kay Gardens are the two monuments entered against it. Museums come in pairs.
The Fusilier Museum and Bury Art Museum sit on the same register as the Church of Saint Thomas and Haslam Bank House.
What is the history of Fishpool?
Bury Castle anchors the record. No founding year is recorded for Fishpool itself, and the area's past comes instead through the buildings that fall inside those four roads, among them the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Holy Trinity Church, Bury and the Peel Memorial. A railway is the other axis.
The East Lancashire Railway carries a line through this part of Greater Manchester, and the Kay Monument at Kay Gardens stands on the register beside Haslam Bank House.
Where is Fishpool?
Four roads draw the square: Wellington Road to the north, Manchester Road to the west, Gigg Lane to the south and Market Street to the east.
