Turn left for The BRIDGE
In Runcorn, there is only one BRIDGE, always capitalised on roadsigns. That leading to the promised land: the Lancashire side of the Mersey!

Footbridge over Weston Point Expressway (A557)
My old maps show this as Rocksavage Expressway, but all current (2012) signage shows the name used in the title.

Clifton Primitive Methodist Chapel
The former Clifton Primitive Methodist Chapel in Cholmondeley Road, built in 1882 and closed in 1975, it is now a private dwelling. Clifton village now consists of just a few houses isolated by the Runcorn Expressway. Nearby stood Clifton Hall with a long history dating back almost a thousand years, the later building known as Rock Savage was the second largest house in Cheshire. Rocksavage is now more recognised as the name of the nearby gas-fired power station.

South view from A557 at Clifton Hall, outside Runcorn, 1966
An interesting view across the River Weaver to Frodsham (not visible) and Helsby Hill (463 ft.) towering over Helsby, further to the east being Delamere Forest. The viaduct of the ex-London & North Western Railway Frodsham - Runcorn line over the Weaver is clearly seen to the right of the chimney. Today, the view would be dominated by the viaduct of the M56 striding across this side of the railway.
