Old GPO cable marker in High Street
This old cast iron marker is on the south side of High Street and carries the insignia for King George, suggesting a date between 1910-1936. Originally there would also have been a plaque below the 'ft ins' (feet and inches), indicating the actual distance to a buried GPO cable. The arrow signifies that the General Post Office was a government department at that time.

Runcorn
Runcorn is a 1960s new town developed to relieve population pressures elsewhere in the north-west; the old part of the town, however, is collected around the Bridgewater Canal close to the River Mersey. This picture shows the back of commercial properties on High Street, seen from the canal bank. The Runcorn - Widnes road bridge, opened in 1961, looms over the scene.
