    SITE NAME: Halton Grange (Runcorn Town Hall), Heath Road, Runcorn, WA7 5TD Address Unitary Halton Borough Council Authority: Parish: Runcorn Location: 0.5km south of Runcorn Town centre Grid Ref: SJ 518 820. Owner: Halton Borough Council Recorder: JC Date of Site Visit 20.04.2016 Date of Report: 29/04/17 Summary Halton Grange was built in the 1850s as a residential property for a local soap manufacturer. The grounds were laid out in 1853-4 by Edward Kemp. In 1932 the property and a small portion of the surrounding land were sold to Runcorn District Council who took it over as council offices. Many original features survive inside the building and elements of Kemp’s layout and features remain in the grounds. The kitchen garden has been lost to council offices. Halton Grange is now known as Runcorn Town Hall and belongs to Halton Borough Council. Principal remaining features House, listed Grade II (List Entry Number: 1104859) The long walk Sandstone retaining wall with niche Sections of wall associated with the kitchen garden and outbuildings An ornamental pond Parkland trees History (numbers in brackets refer to images, letters in brackets refer to maps) The earliest record in the deeds of Halton Grange is August 1778 when Thomas Fearnhead was granted a tenancy of land owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, by The Court of the Manor of Halton. In December 1780, the tenancy passed to Daniel Orred and then to his nephew, George Orred upon his death. The total land holding was described as 14 Cheshire acres. At the Manor Court in 1836 evidence was given of the grant to George Orred of the tenancy, of its subsequent transfer to William Johnson (victualler) for £1,900, and of a further transfer to Francis Salkeld (grocer) in 1830 for the sum of £3,720.

  • Ge from the Chair ______
    HALTON NEWSLETTER ___________________ July 2021 Widnes Library (Photo courtesy of Chris Lewis (Halton u3a Secretary) Message from the Chair ___________________________________________ When you read this we will have passed Freedom Day and be taking steps back to life BC (Before Covid). In common with many of you Chris and I will be proceeding with caution. Much as we would prefer real freedom, we know from experience in our family that you can get Covid twice and being double vaccinated does not give 100% protection. However humans are social beings and not meant to live in isolation. We have started travelling and it will not surprise you to know that trains were involved. On Thursday, 8th July 2021 we travelled to London and the following day took a nostalgic trip behind a steam engine to Weymouth. Careful planning allowed us to meet family and friends we have not seen for nearly two years over the course of a long weekend. On Saturday, 17th July 2021, we treated ourselves to travelling on a reconstruction of the Blue Pullman, a luxury journey to Cardiff. It was not a steam engine but it still managed to break down for two hours in the middle of nowhere on the return journey. This meant we arrived in Crewe two minutes after the last train left for Warrington. Despite having paid a large amount of money for the day, the attitude of the train management was 'that is your problem'. Luckily for us we had kind friends on the train who had left their car in Crewe. They drove us home before going back to Sandbach.

  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HALTON BOROUGH COUNCIL Submission on Ward Patterns to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF HALTON BOROUGH COUNCIL Submission on ward patterns to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England August 2018 1 | P a g e Halton Today Halton Borough Council was created in 1974. The Cheshire (Boroughs of Halton and Warrington) (Structural Change) Order 1996 created a unitary authority for Halton which came into existence on 1 April 1998. The council serves a population of 125,700 covering the two towns of Widnes and Runcorn and the Parishes of Hale, Halebank, Preston Brook, Moore, Daresbury and Sandymoor. The two towns of Widnes and Runcorn face each other across the River Mersey. The borough benefits from excellent connectivity and transport infrastructure. There are good road and rail connections to London (less than 2 hours by train) and Birmingham. Similarly there is good proximity and access to airports at Liverpool and Manchester and to the Merseyside seaports. Halton is also part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. This is one of the few City Regions to have secured a Devolution Agreement with the Government, meaning decision making and resources around key priorities are managed locally. The initial Devolution Agreement in November 2015 secured £900 million of funding over the next 30 years and identified a number of priority areas where resources and decision making would be devolved to us. These are employment and skills, housing and planning, transport, innovation, business growth and support, energy, culture and finance. The borough has inherited a difficult legacy from its industrial past, particularly social and economic problems. With changes to industry and employment the borough has comparatively high levels of deprivation.

    BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND PROCEEDINGS AT THE 2018 REVIEW OF PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN ENGLAND HELD AT VICTORIA SUITE, THE QUEEN HOTEL, CITY ROAD, CHESTER CH1 3AH ON THURSDAY 13 OCTOBER 2016 DAY ONE Before: Mr Neil Ward, the Lead Assistant Commissioner ____________________________________________________________ Transcribed from audio by W B Gurney & Sons LLP 83 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0HW Telephone Number: 020 3585 4721/22 ____________________________________________________________ Time noted: 11.00 am THE LEAD ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this public hearing on the Boundary Commission’s initial proposals for new parliamentary constituency boundaries for the North West Region. I am Neil Ward. I am an Assistant Commissioner appointed by the Boundary Commission to assist it in its task of making recommendations for new constituencies. I am responsible for chairing the hearing today and tomorrow, and indeed across the whole of the North West, and I am also responsible, with my fellow Assistant Commissioners, Nicholas Elliott who is here and Graeme Clarke, for analysing all of the representations received, whether oral representations or written representations, and considering them and presenting our final recommendations to the Commission as to whether or not we believe it is suitable to amend its initial proposals. It goes without saying, therefore, that the Assistant Commissioners have had no say and we have not had any hand in the drafting of the proposals that are on the table before us. We are in a sense “honest brokers” in taking on board the comments we receive, the representations we receive, and then deciding the merits of the case and presenting it back to the Commission for it to consider how to proceed.

  • Four Eighteenth-Century Buildings at Halton
    FOUR EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BUILDINGS AT HALTON A. H. Gomme, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.A. Halton, which a decade ago gave its ordinary-sounding name to the improbable union of Runcorn and Widnes, is, for historical architecture, quite the most interesting part of the new borough. This paper is concerned with its four most prominent survivals from the first half of the eighteenth century, three on the Brow near the church and castle and one now lost among new housing on the flat land to the south. Three of these buildings Hallwood, the parish library and the vicarage are connected with the Chesshyre family who had lived in Halton certainly as early as the sixteenth century. The present Hallwood, though it may incorporate earlier work, was probably built by Thomas Chesshyre shortly before 1660. He is described as an 'official of the Duchy of Lancaster" and may just possibly have been a lawyer, like an Elizabethan ancestor of the same name and like his once-celebrated son who was born at Hallwood in 1662.2 John Chesshyre was the fourth of five brothers and had at least one sister. He was entered at the Inner Temple in 1696 and was involved in several of the most controversial trials of the early eighteenth century, which greatly enriched him; he rose to be queen'sand, on George I' s accession, 1714, when he was knighted, king's serjeant and finally, in 1727, king's prime serjeant. He spent most of his life in London (where he owned a house in Essex Street, Strand) and in Isleworth, then a fashionable out-of-town village with numerous substantial gentry houses, one of which Chesshyre bought in 1718 and subsequently enlarged.
