Padgate history
Overview
Until 1838 Padgate was an area of farmland in the Fearnhead district of Lancashire. It was the site of an R.A.F training camp and home of a teacher training college, now the Padgate Campus of the University of Chester. Padgate is north of the River Mersey and enclosed to the east by the M6 motorway.
RAF Station
Padgate had a small RAF Station during the Second World War. It was used as a training camp for National Servicemen after the war. The site of the former RAF station was demolished in the late 1990s. It has since been largely covered by a housing estate and Padgate Academy.
