Beechwood is a private estate in Runcorn, England. Situated on the border between Runcorn and Frodsham, it was developed as part of the new town initiative in the 1960s.[1] Although most of Runcorn is heavily industrialised,[2] its Beechwood and Sandymoor estates bear more of a resemblance to Frodsham due to their affluency and rural suburban lifestyles, characterised by detached and semi-detached houses, green open spaces, and nature trails.[3] It has two primary schools, a shop, a pub, a community centre,[4] and a church shared by Anglicans and Methodists.[5]
