LEA BY BACKFORD
Lea By Backford nestles between Mollington and Backford. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, it remains predominately an agricultural village supporting all aspects of farming including livestock, poultry and arable. In the more recent past, a smithy and railway station provided valuable services and a boost to the mainly agricultural economy. Today, the Sustrans Route 56 goes through Lea By Backford linking cycle routes between Chester and the Wirral peninsular. A business park sits at its northern edge.
