Worsley Delph -- Built in 1759, Worsley Delph is an underground canal system, that stretches over 50 miles -- as far as Farnworth. The labyrinth of passages is the reason why Worsley has applied for World Heritage Status.
The Packet house -- a Grade Two listed building, was built in the 1760s. A passenger service started in 1769, where people could buy tickets from the Packet House -- a Tudoresque timbered building. By 1781 there was a daily service running from Worsley to Manchester.
Worsley Courthouse -- The Grade Two listed building was built in 1849, and is still used for private functions.
