History Index

'Ascending the high ground towards Whiston, the traveller cannot fail to be struck by the numerous elegant villas which skirt the road terminating in those long terraces and isolated villas which command a wide and most significant prospect.

Whiston is situated in a deep valley, through the main street of which runs a beautiful clear brook.

The prospect on every side is truly magnificent, for scores of hills, having apparently grown out of each other, are singing excelsior in the sun; many of them being intersected by hedgerows and dotted here and there with sheep'. ¹
