Welcome to Stanlow

Stanlow is a small village located in the county of Cheshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Mersey and is known for its oil refinery, which is one of the largest in Europe. The refinery was built in the 1920s and has been expanded several times since then. It is owned by Essar Oil UK and produces a range of products, including gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.

The refinery at Stanlow is a major employer in the area, providing jobs for thousands of people. It is also a significant contributor to the local economy, generating millions of pounds in revenue each year. However, the refinery has also been the subject of controversy due to its impact on the environment. It has been accused of causing air pollution and contributing to climate change, and there have been calls for it to be shut down or to reduce its emissions.

Despite the controversy surrounding the refinery, Stanlow remains a popular destination for visitors. The village has a number of historic buildings, including a 14th-century church and a 17th-century manor house. It is also home to a nature reserve, which provides a habitat for a range of wildlife. The village is easily accessible by road and rail, and there are a number of hotels and restaurants in the area for visitors to enjoy.
