Blacon history
North Blacon (Blacon Hall)
Blacon was originally known as Blakon Hill and was owned by the Marquess of Crewe. The Parish of Blacon cum Crabwall was formed in 1923, and on 1 April 1936, most of the parish was transferred to Chester County Borough. The Parade Enterprise Centre houses Sanctuary Housing, Blacon Library and a community hall.
Blacon Camp (Blacon Lodge)
The British Army maintained an army camp in south Blacon from just before, to just after, the Second World War. A mixture of wooden and ‘Nissen’ huts were occupied by soldiers until the late 1950s. The army firing range was still in evidence until the Chester City Council ‘tower block’ buildings of the mid-1960s.
