Holy Trinity Church, Blacon
Built in 1960, Blacon's C of E parish church has the full name of Holy Trinity Without The Walls, a very old fashioned sounding name for a modern church.
Before present day Blacon was developed in the 1960s this area was part of the old parish of Blacon cum Crabwall, with a distant Parish Church of the Holy Trinity way off in Chester. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/churches/chester-holy%20trinity.html
This was closed in 1960 and replaced by this church in the middle of the newly developed suburb. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/churches/chester-holy%20trinity%20without.html hence Without, as in outside, the Walls.

The site of Blacon Station
Blacon Station was closed to passengers on the 9th September 1968, although the line continued in use until the 1990s. The station buildings fell into disrepair and were demolished in the 1980s. This photo is an attempt to recreate Ben Brooksbank's 1961 photo Image, since which time the trees have grown considerably. The only feature which seems to match is the tall pine tree, prominent at trackside in Ben's photo, and still just visible in this photo, above the surrounding trees, near the small white fence in the distance. The trackbed is now part of Sustrans National Route 5 - Chester to Connah's Quay, and the Blacon Station site has been redeveloped as an access point. The colourful circle in the centre of the photo is a mosaic "Created by Caroline Perry with support from the young people of Blacon".
