Junction of Ringway and Liverpool Road, Neston
The SW corner of Ringway viewed across the B5136 Liverpool Road. Measuring about 175 metres by 175 metres, Ringway is a roughly square area of houses.
On the Neston Past website, Susan Chambers records that the Ringway housing estate had interesting origins as HMS Mersey in World War II. The site was classified as a T124x shore-based naval establishment, associated with the Admiralty taking over merchant navy vessels during the war years.
For five years during the war, the 22 acre site housed a community with accommodation that included sick bays, a medical unit, kitchens, restaurant, a cinema, garages, stores, administration buildings, ward-rooms, cells, a captain's office, laundry, fuel dump and hutments for living accommodation. At the end of the war there were 52 buildings, most of which had been communal hutments, that were considered suitable for adaption to temporary residential use at a time when there was a desperate need for housing, partly because of prewar demolition in the Neston area.

Zebra crossing, Liverpool Road, Neston
Across the B5136 Liverpool Road opposite Mayfield Gardens. Although Belisha beacons had marked pedestrian crossings in the UK from 1934, it was not until 1951 that the now familiar black and white stripes stretching across the width of the road were officially introduced. Previously, there were only metal studs across the road surface.
