Way back in the day Manchester & L'pool Councils were jointly offered the monster US airfield/base, with, long, long military grade runways at Burtonwood to develop as a passenger hub
The Mancs looking at Ringway and its pre-war facilities and said yep we're in.
LCC, allegedly still fuming at the building of the ship canal said No, we have our own perfectly good airport thank you.
Some years late...due to the growth of plane travel and planes themselves...plans were put forward for a bigger Runway at Speke, 10,000ft iirc (not as big as Burtonwood) which would involve going into the estuary at a slight angle to get the distance.
Then they got the cost - How Much !?!?
Nah.
A few years later they built a smaller...mostly, usless version...for more or less the same price.
