The Lord Nelson is a former Higson's pub facing the village green. It claims to be the oldest pub in Croston with parts dating back to 1640. It is a classic village drinker's pub with 5 cask ales including a range of regular beers and changing beers. The layout is cosy with small rooms opening off the central bar which has a real fire in the winter months.
