From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much Hoole is a small village on the outskirts of Preston, Lancashire. It is situated near Longton, Walmer Bridge and Little Hoole. Much Hoole has a post office, two pubs (The Smithy Inn & The Fox Cub), a primary school (Hoole St. Michael's) and a park. It also has other facilities such as tennis courts, a bowling green, car wash and car repairs, DIY Store and a village hall. The Little Chef has been converted into an ice cream parlour and Tapas Bar. There are also many new housing developments being built in the village, however the services available are not being expanded, which has caused a difference in opinion in the village.
Astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks first observed the Transit of Venus from Much Hoole.
Much Hoole and Little Hoole were served by Hoole railway station on the West Lancashire Railway until the line closed in 1964.
