Weaverham was a quite place to live and even bring up a family. I don't live there any more but some of my family do, Maddock and Moreton. When I was growing up there we lived on St Mary's Avenue, just off Farm Road. A few months ago now I did a walk down the road, I even saw a few... [more]

We moved to Weaverham in 1958, at that time it was a good place to bring up children, and a good place for children to grow up in. The village was surrounded by fields and woods, where we played. There was of course the usual childish mischief, knocking on doors, and swiftly running away for one. I left Weaverham in 1968... [more]

I arrived in Weaverham in one of its transition periods. ICI had built many houses to house its workers in all the surrounding villages including Weaverham. So Weaverham had already transformed in a way when I got there, but of course for me coming from a city like Liverpool it was a quaint, peaceful village, there just happened to be the... [more]

My memories of Acton Bridge go back to the mid 1950s and early 1960s. The picture of boats at Acton Bridge Cruising Club takes me back to my teenage days. We had a boat called 'Scampi' which was a 32-foot ex-Norwegian lifeboat. It was our family boat. It was kept initially on the Mersey at Wallasey Dock, then my dad decided... [more]

Extracts From Weaverham & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Weaverham, inspired by Frith photos.
Close to Northwich, Weaverham straddles an old Roman road, thus reminding us of the importance of the salt mines in this area nearly 2,000 years ago. In the 1930s an excavation in the local churchyard unearthed a mass grave in which many of the skulls had a single bullet hole in the forehead – this macabre discovery was dated to the Civil War period.

Warrington Photographic Memories
A Moore resident keeps a look out for a rare commercial barge making its leisurely way along the Bridgewater Canal. Since this tranquil image was captured by Frith, only pleasure boats ply the canal and tie at up Moore to stock up at the village shop.
