Cheshire Lines Committee

The Cheshire Lines Committee was responsible for bringing the railway to Chester, although, despite the name, the majority of its' lines were in Lancashire. It was the second largest joint railway in Britain, with 153 miles of track. In Chester there were two termini, the one still extant and a second called the Northgate, in the position now occupied by Northgate Arena. The sign seen below is on one of the railway bridges over the line, which has now been turned into a cycleway.
