Ellesmere Port and Neston was, from 1974 to 2009, a local government district with borough status in Cheshire, England. It covered the southern part of the Wirral Peninsula, namely that part which is not included in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. The district had a population of about 81,800 (2006 estimate). Its main town was Ellesmere Port, an industrial town on the Manchester Ship Canal, which connects at Eastham locks to the River Mersey. The rest of the district was partly rural and partly residential including small towns such as Neston and Parkgate, both on the River Dee to the west of the Wirral Peninsula. It also included a number of villages such as Ince, Great Sutton and Willaston. All of the area outside Ellesmere Port, with the exception of Ince, were part of Neston Urban District. In 2009 the district was abolished and the area became part of the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester. [edit] Research Tips
