Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A band of cobbles 6ft wide was found in a garden. It is part of the Roman road from Chester to Wirral.
A Roman road has been traced along the length of the Wirral from Chester. The alignment starts from the Northgate of the fortress of Chester and followed a course through Mollington and Ledsham, then by minor roads and lanes to Street Hey, Willaston. From then on the exact course is unclear but is is suggested that the destination was Meols, a port on the tip of the Wirral in Roman and later times.
