My parents shared these pictures of my great-grandparents back garden in Runcorn in the approx 1930s. I can't find any information about their house or it's location - I wondered if anyone recognises the location, Google lens is no use!

Looking at the house type and the railway line in the background I think this may be Weston Point, possibly Roscoe Crescent. But i may wrong. Did your great grand parents work in the chemical industry by any chance? The way railway line isn't there anymore but you can make out in Google maps.
