Town Hall grounds in 1963, Runcorn

Pool Hollow

The grounds of Halton Grange are today a public space.

The "church on the island" referred to in the message below, is Weston Point church (now deconsecrated and closed). This was said to have been the only active church in the world built on an uninhabited island ! ( It is completely surrounded by canals and dock basins.)
