The Borders Industrial Park, River Lane, CHESTER, CH4 8RJ

A view of the modern industrial boxes of the newest industrial estate development in the area.

The Welsh Mountaineer excursion to Blaenau Ffestiniog, hauled by 48151 Gauge O Guild LMS Stanier Class 8F, is seen here passing the end of St David's Terrace. The photo is taken from the Mold Junction bridge.

The industrial area of Saltney is vast, and divided into a number of individual estates. This is the most recent, with the rubble of pre-existing industrial space still bare after demolition.

Not the best photo of a Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), but perhaps representative of what a snapshot photographer (like me) can get whilst out for a walk, and it does prove that they live near the River Dee in Saltney.

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 Dee Coastal Path keeps left here, but the right hand branch is for workers heading for one of the many industrial units on the right.

Photographed from across the river, and from the very edge of the same square, the pylon stands guard over the Saltney Ferry electricity sub station. The two trees are on the line of the track from Higher Ferry to Mill Farm, which is on the banks of the River Dee.

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.
