More about this scene
This slow growth of population in the 1900s is explained by the fact that Runcorn was very much a cul-de-sac town. Although the Transporter Bridge had opened in 1905 vehicular crossing wasn't easy and the presence of the bridge did not, at that time, encourage growth within the town. It was said of Runcorn that it was 'like the Dead Sea - there's a road into it but none out'. It was the building of the new bridge that really encouraged development locally.
