More about this scene

The Talbot Arms pub, the building on the right, has since been renamed the Tunnel Top. Crossing below the road at this point there is, in fact, a tunnel for the Trent and Mersey Canal. Dutton post office, on the left, has gone, and been replaced by a new housing estate.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in 1954 and my parents June and Fred Arnold moved into railway cottages shortly after. They renamed the cottage Kadivi Cottage after myself, sister and brother were born (Diane, Karen and Vincent). It still has the name today. They remained in the cottage for 40 years. I used to go up to the shop daily for my mum (I used to annoy a dog in a pen in the shop garden). My mum and myself worked at Dutton hospital, and moved to Halton General when it was built.
