Great Sankey
This is a footpath that runs between the housing estate that I live on and what was part of the old R.A.F. Burtonwood Air Base. At my back runs Burtonwood Road and I'm looking a couple of degrees north of east.

Burtonwood Road, much altered
The map still shows a Level Crossing where the roundabout is. This carried the line serving the US Base at RAF Burtonwood. A new road, veering left takes its place. The main road to the base, Burtonwood Road is now intersected at several points and is no longer a through road. The entrance to the Burtonwood Repair Depot was beyond the tree on the right, with the base's main gates being a few hundred yards north. Housing is increasingly covering the site.
