About

Wolverham and Stanlow lie on the southern bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, an industrial corridor within the Mersey estuary. The area is dominated by the large Stanlow oil refinery and associated petrochemical complexes, with infrastructure including storage tanks, pipelines, and processing plants defining the landscape.

A network of waterways, including the River Gowy and several canals, intersects the industrial sites. The area contains one of the UK's major salt mines, with extraction occurring deep beneath the refinery installations, linking the modern industry directly to the region's older geological resources.
