Saltport
A walk across the Frodsham Marshes leads to the site of 'Saltport' where once ships unloaded their cargoes whilst the Manchester Ship Canal was still being built toward Runcorn and on to Manchester. The temporary port provided much needed income for the canal company which was faced with massive expenditure to complete "The Big Ditch". It is now hard to imagine that this windswept spot once saw sailing ships side by side and there was never enough wharfage available to meet the traffic demands. There was even a railway connection to the line from Chester to Warrington.
Today there is just a farm and a ferryboat for those requiring access to the marshes across the canal. In the background are the Weaver Sluices and beyond the Castner Kellner chemical works of Ineos Chlor. Above the lorry cab can be seen the Salt Union factory and the spire of the church at Weston Point Docks.
