More about this scene

Commanding an excellent viewpoint, Halton Castle was first built as a wooden castle soon after the Norman invasion of England. Before long a stone castle had replaced it, and this was to continue in use until the time of the Civil War in the 17th century, when it was besieged twice before it was finally captured. The land in the foreground has since been totally built over.

If you ever wondered what it was like before the shopping city, this picture says it all. This was it before the overspill. If you was to stand and take the same picture you would  be somewhere around Castle Rise/Boston Avenue, a view lost forever.
