Gifford and Partners were appointed as Project Manager and Lead Consultant in July 2001 to undertake the further studies necessary to take the project forward. A substantial body of work has been undertaken to date on the project, including design, investigation of funding options and environmental studies. The work has culminated in the production of a series of reports, which are summarised in the following table: Report Number & Report Title Principal Author Purpose of Report Status General Reports B4027/01 Report of Works 1 – Preliminary Gifford and Partners Report to the client on the Issued November Sources Survey desk study 2001 B4027/01 Report of Works 1 – Preliminary Gifford and Partners Report to the client on the Addendum No 1 Sources Survey – Addendum No desk study for Route 4 Issued November 1 – Fiddler’s Ferry Route 2001 B4027/02 Report of Works 2 – Volume 1 Gifford and Partners Report to the client on the Issued March 2003 studies carried out on alternative route options Report of Works 2 – Volume 2 Gifford and Partners Structure and Highways Drawings for ROW2 B4027/03 Route Selection Gifford and Partners Report to DfT to clarify Route Issued March 2004 selection B4027/04 Amendments to Technical Gifford and Partners Report to DfT summarising In preparation – due Reports changes to Technical Reports to be issued since MSA submission in July November 2004 2003 Environmental Impact Assessment for Options Appraisal & MSA B4027/EIA/01 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners Scoping of impacts for EIA for Issued March 2002 Assessment Scoping Report consultation B4027/EIA/02 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners Addendum to scoping report Issued August 2002 Assessment Scoping Report taking into account comments Addendum received from consultees B4027/EIA/03 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners Report on EIA progress to Issued July 2003 Assessment Progress Report inform the ROW2 and for consultees B4027/EIA/04 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners Statistical analysis of impacts Issued March 2003 Assessment Synthesis – Multi- to assist in decision making Criteria Analysis process B4027/EIA/05 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners Report on changes to EIA as a In preparation – due Assessment Supplementary result of changes to the to be issued Report for the Major Scheme scheme since the submission November 2004 Appraisal of the MSA in July 2003 Environmental Impact Assessment for Orders and Applications B4027/EIA/05 Environmental Impact Gifford and Partners EIA Scoping Report for “The In preparation – due Assessment Orders and Scheme” detailing EIA to be to be issued Applications Scoping Report carried out for the November 2004 Environmental Statement Major Scheme Appraisal B4027/MSA/01 Appendix 1 Major Scheme Gifford and Partners Report submitted to DfT with Issued July 2003 Appraisal for New Mersey application for funding (Will be superseded Crossing – Volume 1 by B4027/MSA/02) Appendix 1 Major Scheme Gifford and Partners Worksheets in support of Appraisal for New Mersey above Crossing – Volume 2 B4027/MSA/02 Major Scheme Appraisal for New Gifford and Partners Report submitted to DfT with In preparation – due Mersey Crossing – Volume 1 application for funding to be issued Major Scheme Appraisal for New Gifford and Partners Worksheets in support of November 2004 Mersey Crossing – Volume 2 above New Mersey Crossing Gifford and Partners Morphology Desk Study Page 1 Report No. B4027/TR03/03 In addition to these main reports, the detailed technical studies have been reported in a series of Technical Reports which provide supporting details for the Report of Works, Environmental Impact Assessment and Major Scheme Appraisal. These reports are listed in Appendix D. The work undertaken to March 2003 focused on comparing potential options for a new crossing. In March 2003, Halton Borough Council and the Mersey Crossing Group voted unanimously for a preferred route upstream of the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge. A Major Scheme Appraisal (MSA) for the preferred scheme was submitted to the Department for Transport (DfT) in July 2003 with Halton Borough Council’s Local Transport Plan APR to apply for Central Government funding. In December 2003, the DfT responded by awarding the scheme “Super Work in Progress” status and requesting further information on the following issues: • Traffic impact over the wider road network • Hydrodynamic modelling • Economic Impacts • Statutory Procedures and Procurement • Funding Options – consideration of tolling as a means to fund the new crossing A second MSA

  • Recollections and History of Penketh
    RECOLLECTIONS AND HISTORY OF PENKETH by Benjamin Hobson “As the sun of my life lingers in its setting I have thought that it might be of interest, especially to those who value the past, to put on record something of the history of the village in which the greater part of my life has been spent. A good deal of the following is from my own recollections, but I have been indebted to several friends for material which has enabled me to go back far beyond my own remembrance. The old order ever changeth, giving place to new, but the present is the offspring of the past. There will always be those who will love to wander amongst bygone scenes.” Benjamin Hobson. c. 1907 These reminiscences appear to have been compiled over several years before being collected together by the author, known as The Penketh Historian, in the following document published in 1907. They offer a fascinating insight to village life in a long-gone age. The author, Benjamin Hobson, appears to have been a very able, well-educated and altruistic man – a pillar of village society. He was the local Registrar of Births Marriages and Deaths and a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church with whom he was deeply involved in several worthy causes notably the Penny Bank and the Temperance Movement. He came, probably from Leeds, in 1848, to work as an improver*, for Messrs R Garnett & Sons, Cabinet Makers of Penketh at the age of 19. He was a contributor to the Warrington Guardian, and probably other newspapers, and although the narrative herein is, at times, difficult to read he will occasionally delight the reader with a wonderful turn of phrase which makes the effort more than worthwhile.

SUMMARY In 1849, the first chemical manufactory was constructed at Widnes by John Hutchinson and by the 1860s the town had grown into an international centre for alkali production. Before industry arrived at Widnes the area largely comprised moor and marsh and scattered farmsteads. Within the large sprawl of modern Widnes there are two small settlements that are known to have medieval origins: Appleton and to the north, Farnworth, a small medieval market centre and borough. The modern town of Widnes covers a large area. This report covers the historic core of the town but does not include the formerly separate townships of Ditton and Upton, which lie to the west.
