Whitestake is a small village in the South Ribble district of Lancashire, England, on the eastern edge of New Longton It is at the boundary of the parishes of Farington, Longton and Penwortham.[1] It falls in what is called the "Western Parishes" area of South Ribble.
The name Whitestake supposedly originated because residents could stake a claim with a white stick so that their livestock could graze on the moss. This is said to have taken place once a year at the Farmers Arms Public House (still extant). [2]
It is the site of the Turbary Woods Owl and Bird Sanctuary.[3]
