Runcorn anyone?
Well I will be honest and say I know nothing about Runcorn and would generalize and say don't think much of it. Does anyone know anything about the place or ever lived there? Reason - job possibility but not sure it is one I want as would time me down alot. No major decisions being made until I am back in UK.

Let me put it like this...Runcorn has seen better days...much better days. A few miles south will take you to Frodsham and surrounding villages and countryside. To the west of Frodsham is Chester...to the east Northwich, Knutsford. Very nice towns and beautiful countryside but property will be more expensive than Runcorn. |

Nearby Wirral was voted the fourth best place in UK to raise a family and is relatively inexpensive as Britain goes. |

Re: Runcorn anyone?
I have passed through Runcorn but don't really know a lot about it, but as Jerseygirl said, the surrounding areas are very nice and some of them verrrry expensive and exclusive to live in.

Re: Runcorn anyone?
Yep this job opportunity would pay exceedingly well and would be the guardian of currently 18 year old girl who was abused by her mother at young age. Think shook her or threw her on the floor. She has a trust which is well funded and the person who has been caring for her is getting older and wanting to look to the future for this child. She is not expected to live beyond 30 but we all know how that goes when doctors tell us how long we have to live. The person who takes care of her has brother in US who I am friends with. He mentioned me to family and they want me to visit next year and see if I want to do it. I have lots of concerns and questions but living in Runcorn is likely the deal breaker.. We shall see..

Liverpool is about 20 miles away...has recently seen a rise in popularity. According to my husband it also has the greatest football team in the world. :D Widnes and Warrington are Runcorn's neighbouring towns...both have been transformed in the last 20 to 30 years. A 30 minute drive and you're in Delamere Forest...surrounded by lovely countryside, pubs, villages etc. A 10 minute drive and you're in Frodsham...a lovely market town. 30 mins from Manchester Airport...Liverpool airport is even closer. If you PM me the road name I will be able to give you more details. |
