I believe the term Gullet was given to what is now Bolton Road. The main road from Aspull to Westhoughton.
I did a little research and discovered that the public house, Hare and Hounds Inn (which is still standing) was in Lower Gullet.
Another pub, the Mount Pleasant Inn was listed as 22 Higher Gullet. Sadly this pub has been demolished but it stood on Bolton Road about 300 yards from the Finger Post. Most of the men from the village were coal miners as there were many mines in the area.

I'd forgotten all about aspull being away for the last 22 years. I remember playing football on the pitch near the main road in the early 80's. Did it double as a cricket pitch? Looking at the pictures it's true that you only appreciate things once you have left them behind. The place looks very picturesque which I had never noticed before.

There were two C. of E. Schools in Aspull.
St. Elizabeth's School, Bolton Road - almost opposite the 'Hare and Hounds' Pub.
Headmaster when I went there was Mr. Hesketh. He lived in the School House next door, and had a door through from his house which opened into Standard 1. Classroom, which was in the charge of Miss. Esther Higham.
Other teachers there were Miss Heaton [Infants] and Miss Gregory - Juniors.
The other School was higher up the road, nearer to the Fingerpost.
