Main road through Saltney from Hawarden to Chester

This bench mark is on an old low wall in front of the more modern Saltney Social Club. The area was once terraced housing but that was all demolished around the 1960s. This wall is obviously associated with the old housing, but if the multi million pound Saltney Development plan ever goes ahead I would expect this wall to be swept away.

Viewed from the modern footbridge, near the old sandstone bridge, the banks of Balderton Brook have just had a trim. Although it doesn't look very impressive here, the brook is a very important part of the drainage system of what were once the Saltney marshes, and it is maintained accordingly.

Brutus, the Saltney Morrisons cat, became famous for spending all his days inside the entrance to the supermarket, despite having a comfortable home across the busy main road. When he passed away early in 2017 contributions were forthcoming to provide a statue which has been installed close to his daily resting/snoozing place.

"Dalmeny" was built in the late nineteenth century for Charles Humphrey Deeley, who took over management of the Dee Oil Company from his father William Deeley. In 1901 it housed Charles, his wife Minnie, four children, a children's nurse, a cook and a housemaid. Originally a carriage way ran from the house over the railway line to the Oil Works. The house was extended in the early twentieth century [left hand wing]. It was bought in the 1920's and remained in the possession of that family until very recently. To the north & west the land is zoned for light industry - commercial; to the east and south is housing.
