The Cheshire View |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Cheshire View was formerly known as the Railway Inn and is situated near the top of Station Bank (the name changed in 1955) The pub is over 200 years old and is like so many buildings in the area, constructed out of local stone. On a clear day it offers some of the most breathtaking views in the area, as the name would suggest, you can see nearly all of Cheshire, spreading out towards Wales and Shropshire. For those not familiar with the area this pub is near the end of the Killer Mile. |

The pub was renamed the Cheshire View when Bertram Burchall was the licensee. An old advert (see below)taken from a business directory dated around 1914 indicates the proprietor at that time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
