Eccles and Patricroft are separate places. They have a railway station EACH. If you get off at Eccles it will take a hell of a long walk to get to
Queens Arms
which is outside Patricroft station.
The Star and
The White Lion are on the Eccles/Patricroft borderline hence both areas. Sorry for being logical on this point.
Putting a pub which is near enough on the platform at Patricroft station in Eccles is at best misleading and at worst ( enter own expletive here).
Neil Richardson had to fill his book somehow and there weren't enough pubs in Eccles to do it. It was never intended to be a geographic guide!!
