Frodsham Caves

A Memory of Frodsham.

Just south of Frodsham are some natural caves in the red sandstone rock. They appear to have been enlarged in the Middle Ages and are a rare surviving example of mediaeval mining. I had never heard of these caves - or even Frodsham itself - unitl I moved to the Manchester area in 1966 at the age of 21. I knew no one so I joined a group of young people from Altrincham & Sale Young Conservatives who seemed to have an attractive group of girls and an exciting calendar of social events! One of these outings took us to Frodsham where I explored the caves along with a rather pretty girl called Ann Senyszyn. A happy memory still recalled nearly fifty years later!
