Cuerdley is a civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England. [1] It has a population of 107 (2001 census) and much of its area is farmland. A large part of Cuerdley is occupied by the Fiddlers Ferry Power Station, which was decommissioned in 2020. The small settlement of Cuerdley Cross is on the A562 (Widnes Road) to the north of the power station site.

The parish is crossed by a railway line, which used to serve the power station, and the disused St Helens Canal is alongside it. There was a short-lived station named Cuerdley in the 19th century. A small part of the parish is detached from the rest, being south of the River Mersey, between the river and the Manchester Ship Canal.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">River Perry</span> River in Shropshire, England

The River Perry is a river in Shropshire, England. It rises near Oswestry and flows south to meet the River Severn above Shrewsbury. Along its 24 miles (39 km) length, its level drops by some 320 feet (95 m). The channel has been heavily engineered, both to enable water mills to be powered by it, and to improve the drainage of the surrounding land. There were at least seven corn mills in the 1880s, and the last one remained operational until 1966. The middle section of the river crosses Baggy Moor, where major improvements were made in 1777 to drain the moor. The scheme was one of the largest to enclose and improve land in North Shropshire, and the quality of the reclaimed land justified the high cost. A section of the river bed was lowered in the 1980s, to continue the process.
