Rail

Some twenty years after Liverpool and Manchester had been connected by rail, Frodsham was to be linked to the system by the branch line from Chester to Runcorn. In 1850-51 hundreds of labourers and craftsmen poured into the village to construct the track. This involved considerable engineering operations, including the bridging of the Weaver and the Weaver Navigation, and the construction of the great embankment and viaduct spanning the whole width of the Weaver Valley. Labourers came from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and many parts of England.
