Like most Northern industrial towns it has its problems, drive 3 miles in any direction from the town centre and you'll find plenty of affluent houses and areas surrounded in beautiful countryside!!
So as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover!!👍👍

I left in 1969. it was sliding then,- and when I visited in 1978 the slide had continued. I pass through most years now, even have a nostalgic walk( through the park and bottom end where we lived) most visits as it still draws me but oh how sad it all is. Bright side is the 3 Facegroups for the school and Port keep the memory of how it was alive for me

As someone who grew up in Ellesmere Port I can confirm all this except for the transport one. Merseyrail (or Miseryrail or Merseyfail, whatever you want to call them) make getting the train anywhere an absolute pain.

Sums it up like but I do love my home town on the wezzy. But don't think I could go back. Do miss it sometimes though.

I lived there for 3 years and this video sums it up nicely!

[@BNIEducationSlots]

It's really like this. The street theatre is always worth a watch.

I left 50 years ago but still miss the amazing people! Maggie Thatcher and the Cons have a lot to answer for! I was one of the lucky ones- I grew up with an excellent education system and health care system. Lack of hope can do terrible things to people!
