Thelwall

Thelwall - the smallest city in England! Famous for lying in the shadow of the well known M6 viaduct over the River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal, Thelwall is an ancient dwelling.

Carved on the gable of the Pickering Arms in Thelwall is a short commemoration to the very small city: "In the year 923 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and he called it Thelwall".
