Our History
Dating back to 1585, The Eagle at Weeton, formally The Eagle and Child, is one of Fylde’s oldest pubs. Originally part of Lord Derby’s estate, the name was derived from the family crest.
The mounting steps at the front of the inn are dated 1755 and on display inside the pub are the 15th century brass halberds and sword. These were found behind the pub and are reputed to have been used in combat between the Nile and India. The thatched roof was destroyed by a devastating fire in the 1960s, but luckily there remains an original beam still going strong!
Oliver Cromwell is also believed to have stayed at the pub. He bricked up tunnels from the cellar that can be traced to up to Singleton church, it is said these were used as an escape route during the civil war.
Throughout the years the Eagle has seen it all from gangs fighting in the 1600s, ghostly apparitions and all those training at Weeton barracks since 1916.
