Frodsham
Frodsham is a market town, civil parish and electoral ward in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. Its population is 8,982.〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Vale Royal'' ). Retrieved 2009-12-15.〕 increasing to 9,077 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Town and ward population 2011 )〕 It is approximately south of Runcorn, 16 miles (26 km) south of Liverpool, and southwest of Manchester. The River Weaver runs to its northeast and on the west it overlooks the estuary of the River Mersey. The A56 road and the Chester–Manchester railway line pass through the town, and the M56 motorway passes to the northwest. In medieval times Frodsham was an important borough and port belonging to the Earls of Chester Its parish church, St. Laurence's, still exhibits evidence of a building present in the 12th century in its nave and is referenced in the Domesday Book. A market is held each Thursday, and Frodsham's viability as a trading centre is emphasised by the presence of the "big five" clearing banks and several building societies. Development in the town's shops and premises with alcohol licences is evident through the recent (post-2002) opening or modernisation of contemporary-style bar/restaurants, take-away food shops and public houses, and in the continued presence of small, specialised, businesses operating from town-centre shops. Like many small market towns in Cheshire, Frodsham and the smaller surrounding villages are seen as an affluent area. ==History==
