The inn where George Lyon’s body was laid out.

George’s ghost has been seen many times over the past 200 years. He has been witnessed on horseback galloping through Billinge and the sound of horse’s hooves have been said to echo around the village, which was a common hideout for him. Anne from Billinge tells the story that:

Many years ago my grandfather was walking home to Billinge Higher End from Crank. As he walked over Billinge Hill, he heard a horse galloping in a field. As he turned round he saw a man on horseback dressed in ‘old-fashioned’ clothing, he always swore that the figure was the ghost of George Lyon, the highwayman from Upholland, making his escape!
