Longton

Longton is first mentioned in history in the Domesday book and the village gets its name from the words "Long" and "ton" meaning town. Situated inbetween Preston and Southport, there are three parts to the village, which has clearly grown over the years.
The first part is by the supermarket and village shops, the second is further along the road by Marsh Lane, which leads to the old cottages, fields and marshes. And the third part is round the corner on the edge of the village where the nature reserve can be found.
