GENUKI provides the details about early Latchford:
Latchford was a township in Grappenhall ancient parish in Bucklow Hundred which became a civil parish in 1866. The civil parish was transferred from Cheshire to Lancashire in 1894, and was abolished in 1898 to become part of Warrington which, at that time, being north of the River Mersey, was in Lancashire. Latchford includes the hamlet of Wilderspool. The population was 754 in 1801, 2542 in 1851, and 6528 in 1891.
- the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia
Latchford is now a suburb and electoral ward of Warrington, Cheshire. It is around one mile south-east of Warrington town centre and has a total resident population of 7,856. (Warrington moved back into Cheshire in 1974 when it chose not to become part of Greater Manchester.)
Latchford is a predominantly residential area. It lies between the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, and broadly consists of 19th century terraced housing and some open space. The canal is crossed here by a swing bridge, a high level road bridge and the now disused Latchford railway viaduct.
