Samuel Bibbington operated quarries and limekilns around Dove Holes. His Victory Quarry was connected by a tramroad, running under the (now) A6 road, to a limeworks with a long bank of kilns alongside the railway just south of Dove Holes station. The quarry has been closed for many years and the limeworks site has been landscaped and planted with trees. This has not stopped the runoff of lime rich water from the waste tips and this now collects in this pool adjacent to the A6.

Known to all locals as 'the Blue Bridge", the Hartford bridge on the Northwich Bypass over the River Weaver is, in fact, two spans built side-by-side. The nearer one was erected in 1939 to replace a stone arch bridge, but the further span was delayed due to the outbreak of the war and was finally finished in the early 1950's I think.

It's a long time since any petrol was dispensed from here. Hiding in the wall outside Blockbuster Video.
