Seen from the end of Sandy Lane, a new housing development by Edwards Homes is springing up on the north side of Chester Road. According to the builder's website: 'Situated in Saltney, just a short distance from the historic city of Chester, Mayfield Park comprises a stunning selection of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom semi-detached and detached homes'.

This end of Saltney is called Saltney Ferry and St David's Terrace, a cul-de-sac which leads off Chester Road, includes a row of these unusual Victorian semi-detached houses. According to an estate agent's particulars for one of the houses (not in this view), they were 'understood to have been constructed by The Great Western Railway'. This seems surprising because, although the Great Western had a station in Saltney, these houses are much nearer the London & North Western Railway's line. Nevertheless, there is something about the architecture that is reminiscent of the Great Western's house style.

The houses on St David's Terrace back on to the playing field belonging to St David's High School. A small children's recreation area has been sited in this corner of the field.

The end wall of this house was a ready made advertising location as it faces all travellers towards Chester on the old main road from Broughton. From memory and careful scrutiny I believe it says: BOLLANDS RESTAURANT Eastgate Street CHESTER [illegible] Open on Sundays [unclear] Bollands used to be a licensed restaurant next to Browns of Chester.
