Description
There are two local pubs, both on the A565 north of the village: the Weld Blundell, on Scaffold Lane; and the Red Squirrel, which is part of the Harvester restaurant chain, at the junction of Scaffold Lane and Orrell Hill Lane. There is a social club located at the Village Hall. There is also a third pub, the Pheasant, a short distance away at the other end of Orrell Hill Lane at its junction with Moss Lane.
In 2006 and 2007, Ince Blundell entered the North West In Bloom competition, part of the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom campaign.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
