| • | Elton is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England. It is situated approximately 13 km (8 miles) to the northeast of Chester, between Helsby and Ellesmere Port, near to the River Mersey. Its close proximity to the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal have contributed to its industrial character. The village is on the north-western edge of the Cheshire plain, approximately 2.5 km (1.5 miles) from the seventh largest oil refinery in Europe, which is a Shell facility. The refinery produces one-sixth of the United Kingdom's petrol.
It has recently been proposed that a 95 Kilowatt power station and various recycling plants be sited on a water meadow near Elton, this is a controversial project. The land is owned by Peel Holdings and the proposal is in its embryonic stage.
It is at the edge of the City of Chester local government district. The village of Ince is just over the border in the Ellesmere Port and Neston district. The two villages share Ince and Elton railway station.
The village was briefly in the media spotlight when one of its residents, Louise Woodward, went on trial for murder in the USA.
