    A lot of the fir trees in Runcorn get decorated at Christmas. Especially the ones on roundabouts.
    It’s always really great to see!

    George your dead right. Been using that roundabout for thirty or more years and never seen it. Another local gem.

    I’ve always wondered what the history of these stones was. Runcorn is a lovely place to live if you like the outdoors.

      Not heard of that one, But Place in the Pine Woods, Off Norton Lane / Back of Windmill Hill that everyone calls the Witches Den. Someone told me it was an old Windmill footings, But never found out if that true or not.

    If you get yourself out and about to Victoria Park in Waterloo the parks and gardens have built one there also. A modern fake ? Or fancy? Not at all old.
