Burton (near Neston) history

---

The Cheshire and Chester Record Office has records of baptisms, marriages and burials at the parish church, St Nicholas’, dating from 1538. The village population was recorded at 288 in 1801, 291 in 1851, 222 in 1901 and 667 in 1951.

Ancient

Burton was first documented in the Domesday Book and historically was on the route which travellers would take from London to Birkenhead. Owing to its location on trade routes, it is thought to have developed at a faster rate than neighbouring communities. However, the build up of silt in the River Dee led to a decrease in shipping trade, and Burton’s prosperity took a downturn when the river course was diverted in the eighteenth century.

Modern

Burton was ranked eighth overall in a UK market research survey of so-called ‘super rich’ communities by Philip Beresford of the Sunday Times Rich List. Millionaires make up 16% of the population in its postal district.

Burton (near Neston) landmarks

Burton had an operational railway station, Burton Point, on the Borderlands Line, from 1889 until 1955. The station’s position, some distance from village, led to decline in usage as cars became common in the 1950s. The site is still almost entirely intact, the station buildings currently forming part of a garden centre.
