Saltney is a small town to the south of the river Dee, named after the salt marshes on which it lies. The Welsh-English border runs through Saltney, meaning only the western part is in Wales. Saltney has a population of around 5,000, with primary schools, a secondary school, Saltney Primitive Methodist chapel (NPRN 8147) and St Mark's Church. Saltney Ferry station (NPRN: 87047), to the west of Saltney, on the London and North Western Railway line, opened in 1891 but was closed in 1962 and is now demolished.
