Excerpt from An Account of the Ancient Town of Frodsham: In Cheshire Frodsham, though a very ancient market town, with a weekly market and two fairs yearly, and once an important pass defending the entrance into Cheshire from the west, has lost, or perhaps more properly may be said to have gained, by the change to more peaceful times, some of its former importance. It has now the appearance of a pleasant rural village, and consists principally of one wide open street running nearly straight for the distance of a mile from the bridge over the Weaver on the east to Castle Park, standing on the site of its once Norman castle at the other end on the west. But in its position the place forms a great exception to the generality of Cheshire villages, where, with great fertility of soil, the country is for the most part champaign and flat, and, except in a few places, but little diversified by the undulations of hill and dale.
