Singleton Rd 11Kv transformer and LV board
The 11 thousand volt transformer to the left, the big grey finned thing, and the fuses board to the right. When the light around Singleton avenue go out watch out for the local engineers rushing in to sort things out. It is worth pointing out that it is pretty easy to get killed in these places as the conductors are not shielded. Touch one and flash bang, gone.

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
This school was built on Woodchurch Road, Oxton on the site of ‘Heathley', the home of Mr Joseph Bell Topham, the main benefactor of St Joseph's Parish. He was descended from one of the oldest and best known Catholic families in Cheshire and offered the private chapel at his house for Mass prior to the building of the first church. St Joseph's foundation stone was laid in 1899, the land at the junction of Willow Bank and North Road having been purchased and then donated by him to the parish of St Joseph’s for the building of a church and presbytery.
