This pub was known as the Beechwood Tavern for most of its existence.

Phil Simpson

The Oak Tree on Livesey Branch Road was originally The Beechwood.  The Beechwood was originally a private house, built by George Whiteley, who inherited Albion Cotton Mill from his father George Whiteley of The Woodlands on Preston Old Road. George Jnr's wife Alice was Alice Tattersall, daughter of William Tattertersall who inherited Dutton's Brewery. This pub is now used as a Tesco Store.
