Photograph at the Thomas Hazlehurst blue plaque

Thomas Hazlehurst (1816-1876) Businessman and philanthropist, Thomas was a major figure in Runcorn's history. He was a member of the family business Hazlehurst & Sons, which was founded in 1816 by his father, also named Thomas. Thomas and other members of the Hazlehurst family once lived in this building called Camden Cottage. Built in the early 18th Century, it is a Grade II listed building. He was a pious Wesleyan Methodist and paid for three schools and twelve chapels in Runcorn and the surrounding areas. The most famous and beautiful of these chapels was St. Paul's in High Street (demolished 1969). He was buried in Runcorn Cemetery on Greenway Road.
