- this video idea came about when i started exploring around the castle and surrounding areas
it was the lamp shop that caught my attention and the fact it hasn't been open as a shop for 20 years one of the locals said.
on looking inside it still had some original features even old school weighing scales.
i did ring the business that owns the shop to ask if i could take a look inside as its an electrical business and i think the guy uses the once shop as storage but the shop window is still dressed as it was back in the day....but there was no answer.
anyway after googling this street it turns out its steeped in history and a website which ill link below tells all about what's what....all history can also be found in that link

Runcorn itself is mentioned as a campaign fort of Queen Aethelflaed in the liberation of the North West of Mercia in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle at '917 AD'.
brilliant cheers for the info
Hi George and Eric, such a lovely village some lovely buildings great place to visit thanks for sharing 👍
hello mate deffo worth a look this place shame we couldnt get inside that shop although i did ring the bloke multiple times but no answer
That electrical shop used to be the wool shop. There used to be a newsagents opposite called dickie dones.
ahh cool one local said the shop hasnt been open for 15 odd years...i did see a frontage opposite that resembled a shop at one point mad the little details this places has to offer
The electrical shop was the Co-op and main food store in the 1950's. You can see the opening where they used to winch in the goods at first floor level at the side The blocked door to the left was the home of Miss Wright and her wool shop which is now flats. The Village Farm House used to have a much bigger garden and was a sizeable house and the sandstone double fronted house before it on the same side was the butcher's shop. The 'school' on the hill through the gates by the vicarage was known as the Hill School was the original village school. It became the church hall and Sunday School when the Church School was established on the common. This is now a house and the current school is behind the small gatehouse towards the end of the High Street.
Oldest house in Runcorn - when you went round the back the hedges were really neatly clipped so someone is looking after the place. Thanks for the videos,only found your site recently - fab.
Brilliant video George. I never knew Halton was so picturesque
thank you mark its a really nice place
All of Halton village is a conservation area . So anything not individually listed will still be subject to similar rules regarding changes . Its a brilliant oasis amongst the new town estates.
( Lived in castlefields 1976 , first tenants. Till 1988 moved to ireland.
From what I remember from school ( which wasnt a lot ) Runcorn development corporation was very careful to keep anything of historical interest in good condition and integrate it into the new town . Theres a lot to see if you know where to look . Especially on the footpaths as a few of them are the old roads and farm tracks re purposed
. Biggest find of course is Norton Priory. It just kept growing !
Great video Guys i been watching some of your earlier stuff .
i noticed the other day it said that on the road sign that it was a conservation area
its a lovely area and one ive never looked into until now

Omg as soon as I saw the photo, I knew exactly where that was. A really strange place, proper League of Gentlemen. That pub was weird too. Can't believe that shop front hasn't changed.
Its a really nice place to walk through isnt it mad that shop front and shop are frozen in time
Did you go to the estate at the far end? Bit weird there too, bit run down.
Supercool man. Thanks for showing us. Subbed
thank you very much glad you enjoyed the video

The castle, Spent many summer days there as kids after we moved from Liverpool. When you turned down the steps , left and right , it dragged me back decades in time. Great vid George n Eric 👍

@@g2emedia1977 probably has Frodsham or Sutton Weaver maybe interesting video
Domesday Book. Listing what is in the King's Dome. Not Doomsday. i need to visit Halton.Thanks gents.
George do you still have the footage of evertons new stadium (the pump house with the period graffiti) it would be interesting to see if they saved it.
hi mate i have the footage somewhere do you mean the clock tower?
@@g2emedia1977 yes mate they have built EFC new stadium there I am a season ticket holder. It would be sacrilege if they have ripped the graffiti out of it would be great to see it again I have told one site about it. Hope this makes sense out with missus at mo??
Does anyone else remember the first/last house...depending which way you are walking lol, on the row set back from the older houses, that for years was boarded up and had 'satanic' symbols painted on it? Lots of rumours but nothing definite, last time i saw it it was occupied.
We. Herd you yea it's cool
cool as
was that car a G Wagen ?
unsure
Runcorn has interesting places
been looking at a few areas over the past few weeks really surprising how many interesting things and places they have
Awesome... On my list.. maybe a possible URBEX...🤔
