I knew I'd read something about a slave ship and WIrral. Named after Neston.

After selling his interest in the Neston John Evans travelled to Jamaica, probably to be a merchant or plantation owner. However, diseases such as yellow fever were common there and he died in Kingston in 1761, aged just 27.

His gravestone states ‘Here Lieth the body of Mr John Evans, late of Neston in Cheshire'.

Its not my field, having worked with picowatts rather than Terawatts, but I believe grid level converters - at least the big ones used on HVDC links - do not run at high speed. They are quite crude and some even simply chop DC at Mains frequency to produce a square wave and rely on subsequent L-C filtering to get a sinusoid. More sophisticated ones manage a sort of multilevel boxcar waveform to approximate a sinewave more closely. They too operate at low speed, a few multiples of Mains frequency.

I found this

https://www.hslc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/74-6-Rideout.pdf

Page 119 has a paragraph describing the stream in question but not naming it.

It is said to flow into the pool between Lower Road and Windy Bank which takes it into the garden of the Leverhulme Hotel now. There is a pool there, but I can't see it connected to the sewer which probably runs much deeper..

Thanks for the info.

The picture of the flooding yesterday was taken from the bridge by the Cheshire Yeoman, so it was Ledsham not Hooton hence the Chester line was affected and not Helsby..... but obliviously the bus service ran from Hooton.

GONE NOW

The promised demolition of Cole Street School appears to have actually started now.

Brilliant find!

From the early 1960s I guess, never heard of the Alan Anderson Quartet and not heard of some of those cocktails either but its around 15 years before I was a licensee.

"The money grabbers will be pleased."

Not all of them. Less fuel will be sold.

This is the lowest cost filling station in the area on the A41 near Lairds, but be careful about which nozzle you pick up to fill your car.

It is natural to assume the cheapest is the end one, but it isn't. That is the 'Super' unleaded which costs a bit more than their advertised price. I suspect a lot of people get caught out this way. The cheapest plain unleaded was the second from the end when I last went there. Just look at the prices.

Clearly there is nothing illegal about this. Both are clearly marked, but I think its a bit south of good business practices.

Just be careful.

The Eastham Ferry Hotel is re-opening in early October 2024 after its refurbishment.
