Wardleys was a pub on Wardley's Lane in the civil parish of Stalmine-with-Staynall, near the village of Hambleton, Lancashire. The building dated to the 18th century and occupied a location, on the eastern banks of the River Wyre and beside Wardleys Creek, believed to have been used since Roman times. Prior to nearby Fleetwood's emergence as a harbour, people emigrated to the Americas from the creek, including aboard the Quebec-bound Six Sisters on 3 April 1833. The harbour's foundation rocks are still visible beneath today's wooden jetty. A ferry used to run from Cockle Hall, on the western side of the river, to Wardleys Creek. Parts of the pier are still visible in the marsh in front of where Cockle Hall once stood.
