A TV soap star has travelled from Weatherfield to Neston to officially open a new retirement development.

William is the last remaining original cast member of the long-running soap and plays much-loved character, Ken Barlow.
More than 70 guests were treated to champagne and canapés following the official opening ceremony and the entertainment ended with a firework finale in the grounds the landmark 1930s building.
Since its opening in 1939, the site has played home to the neo-Georgian police station, scientific support unit as well as two police houses, two courts and further support buildings.
The event marked the end of a two year project which has seen the building restored and converted into 42 one and two-bedroom luxury apartments for over 55s.
