More about this scene

Those people who could afford it were, already in the 1800s, establishing their homes beyond the old town of Runcorn on the higher ground around Runcorn Hill. But even here there was then a constant cloud of polluted air. Today, thanks to all the Clean Air Acts that have since taken effect, this is now a delightful suburb of the town.
