Tiny village on the edge of Merseyside where 'everyone knows each other'

For some people living in a city, the idea of knowing everyone living in the same area seems almost impossible.

However, in Burtonwood, just outside Merseyside and a 30 minute drive from Liverpool, residents pride themselves on knowing each other. As well as the tight-knit community, the village of just more than 11,000 people boasts a unique history that not everyone is aware of.

The ECHO took a dive into the history of Burtonwood, as well as chatting to some people born and bred in the village, to see what they think makes it special.
