'Clayton-le-Moors was the home of Arthur Appleby, who played cricket for Lancashire in the Victorian period.
People who played cricket in those days had to be amateurs because only men with money had the leisure time to play.
Appleby owned flour mills along the banks of the canal and also had a fleet of barges to supply them.
He built his first mill in Clayton and when his profits increased he built mills in Blackburn and Bootle.
It was the canal, coal and cotton which changed Clayton from a sleepy old hamlet to a bustling industrial village.'
