From its humble beginnings as a farm house in 1718 the building has had many uses ever since. Sited on the main road from Liverpool to Lancaster it was once used as a Toll Tower for travellers on the road. Since then the Stork has been used as an Inn, Hotel and as formentioned, a Gaol used by Cromwell's troops during the English Civil War.

Cromwell himself is believed to have stayed here on numerous occasions.

The original building dates back to the year 1718 and was extended in 1752 to pretty much what you see today.
A building was erected on this site in 1640; during the Civil War its crypt was used to incarcerate Royalist prisoners.  The crypt survived the rebuild in 1717 and is now the cellars of the modern Stork Inn or Hotel.  In 1752 The Stork had a bowling green. 

Susannah Howard is listed as being a landlady of the Stork Inn around 1881.

In August of 1890 landlord James George Howard was charged with selling adulterated rum after his wife topped the bottle up with water in the presence of a plain clothes police-constable.  Howard‘s defence was that she was not accustomed to mixing spirits and did not think she was doing wrong.  The Bench dismissed the case, warning him to be more particular in future.

Born to Richard and Ellen on 26/1/1844, Huge Mather married Elizabeth Peet (born 1845 at Atherton House farm, Winstanley Road), on 29/10/1866.  Sometime after 1891 they took over the running of The Stork and its attached farm which they rented from the Bankes estate.  Their four daughters, Sarah Ellen a.k.a Nellie, Mary a.k.a. Polly, Elizabeth ‘Bessie’ and Charlotte or ‘Lottie’,   helped run the Inn by working as barmaids.  The Stork was a resting place for travellers and parties were held there for merchants, the farm providing the food for the elaborate meals.  One visitor was Lord Leverhulme. 

Huge was an easy-going passive man with a sandy beard, for many years he was a member of Billinge Council and served as a Government Official for over 30years as an assessor of taxes and land valuation officer, he was also a sidesman in Billinge church.  Elizabeth was industrious, consequently by 1903 they has saved enough money to purchase the ‘Red Knob Row’ of cottages in Newton Road from number 2 onward.  Huge died aged 68 on 13th July 1912 from pneumonia after harvesting hay at The Stork.  Their occupancy ended sometime in 1912 after Hugh’s death.
