A fascinating past

The Crooked Billet takes its name from a boomerang-shaped tree branch. We only mention this as you may have noticed that our pub is the only one in Leigh not named after a fishing vessel. But don't worry, our 16th Century tavern still has historic seafaring connections as in the early 1850s, a club was formed here to help sick fishermen. The club became known as the Billet Club.
